PRESIDENT'S WORDS<br />

A CHALLENGING YEAR<br />

Alfredo Lang<br />

CEO of C.Vale<br />

An extraordinarily challenging period. The year <strong>2023</strong> managed to overcome the level of difficulties<br />

imposed on agribusiness in the twelve months that preceded it. After strongly affecting summer crops in<br />

central-southern Brazil in 2022, climate once again punished rural producers and companies in the sector.<br />

First it was the drought that damaged soy crops in Rio Grande do Sul, then it was the excess rain that<br />

affected wheat in Rio Grande do Sul in <strong>2023</strong>. To worsen the problems, grain prices fell, pushing profitability<br />

to critical levels.<br />

In the meat segment, the results also left something to be desired. Even with the reduction in costs<br />

due to the decline in the prices of soy and corn, which serve as the basis for feed, the sharp decline in<br />

international chicken meat prices and weak consumption in the domestic market flattened profit margins.<br />

For C.Vale, in particular, <strong>2023</strong> was a year of contrasts. We faced the effects of the accident at the Palotina<br />

grain unit that left 10 dead and another 10 injured. A tragedy in which we seek to alleviate the suffering of<br />

family members with full support for medical, psychological and financial care.<br />

That same year, we achieved one of the greatest achievements in C.Vale's history. We inaugurated the<br />

soy crusher, an enterprise that fulfilled a dream of the cooperative's first members and marked C.Vale's<br />

60th anniversary.<br />

Even facing such adverse conditions, we managed to close <strong>2023</strong> with surplus. Revenue grew 7.62%,<br />

reaching R$24.42 billion. We expected better performance, but agribusiness deals with components over<br />

which we have no control, the climate being the most important of them.<br />

For 2024, with grain-input exchange relations at a more balanced level, consumption a little warmer<br />

and interest rates falling, producers and agribusiness companies should face a more promising scenario.<br />

Difficult periods bring lessons, the main one being that we need to seek efficiency and competitiveness.<br />

Whoever knows better how to adjust to difficulties will be more prepared to take advantage of periods of<br />

prosperity.

SUSTAINABILITY<br />

Producing competitively, rationally using natural resources and generating economic and<br />

social benefits is the great challenge of agribusiness. C.Vale is aware that it is possible to take<br />

advantage of climate and soil conditions in an environmentally rational way. In order to foster the<br />

appropriate management of natural resources, the cooperative maintains programs to encourage<br />

the good use of water, soil and air. Attentive to innovations and always seeking to be in tune<br />

with transformations, in accordance with ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance)<br />

practices, the cooperative brings new technologies to producers and trains members, employees<br />

and family members. These are actions that, over the last few years, have come to be demanded<br />

by citizen-consumers who are aware that it is the obligation of each one of us to get involved in<br />

building a more prosperous world.<br />

Inauguration of C.Vale's soy crusher<br />

Sixty years after its creation, C.Vale fulfilled a dream<br />

of its first members. The cooperative inaugurated, on<br />

November 7th, the day of its anniversary, a soy crusher<br />

with a processing capacity of 60 thousand bags/day. The<br />

project occupies 12 hectares, in the cooperative's agroindustrial<br />

complex, and received more than R$1 billion<br />

in investments between 2021 and <strong>2023</strong>. It is the third<br />

largest crusher in Brazil in industrial plants with just one<br />

production line and the first in technological level. The<br />

works took two years to be completed and involved 1,100<br />

employees from 35 companies.<br />

The inauguration ceremony brought together<br />

six thousand guests, including the governor of<br />

Paraná, Ratinho Junior, a large number of politicians,<br />

representatives of entities, financial institutions, suppliers<br />

and customers from Brazil and abroad, as well as<br />

C.VALE<br />

REPORT | <strong>2023</strong><br />

APPRECIATION<br />

The diversification of activities rarely has been as important as in these last three years in which the<br />

climate has had a strong impact on grain production. Alternative sources of income bring greater security<br />

to rural producers when crop failures occur or when low prices compromise the profitability of grains. For<br />

this reason, C.Vale operates in several segments: it generates more income for its members, creates jobs<br />

and ensures greater stability for the cooperative's finances.<br />

We combine diversification, innovations and the search for excellence with attitudes that make a<br />

difference. We have created a culture of permanent search for efficiency and competitiveness. It is an<br />

environment to which members, employees, leaders, board members, tax advisors and executive directors<br />

contributed. We also want to express our gratitude to the Organization of Cooperatives of Paraná (Ocepar),<br />

customers, suppliers, professional associations, the press, financial institutions, parliamentarians linked to<br />

agribusiness and our families.<br />

None of this would be possible if the Creator had not given us the gift of life and the willingness to<br />

generate prosperity. We thank God and ask that He renew His blessings upon us for new achievements.<br />
