The Zhitong Finance App learned that recently, a delegation from SCA BRASIL ALIANÇA (Brazilian Alliance Supply Chain Company), a major Brazilian agricultural procurement group, visited China for the first time. The founders, Mr. Alexandre Luis Menezio and Mr. Diego de Oliveira e Silva Vieira Lopes, personally led the delegation. Liu Hongsheng, vice president of Adama (000553.SZ), and Cao Yi, head of the Chinese region, and other management received the reception. During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the results of cooperation, thoroughly investigated industry trends, and reached broad consensus on the next direction of cooperation, laying a solid foundation for continuing to deepen practical cooperation.
During the visit, Mr. Alexandre Luis Menezio presented Adama with the 2025/26 “Best Supplier” trophy in the chemical plant protection product category on behalf of the Brazilian Alliance Supply Chain Company. The award was based on a multi-dimensional comprehensive evaluation. Adama stood out from many suppliers, with an overall average efficiency of 87.9%. The selection revolves around seven major dimensions, namely innovative projects showcasing participation, business management (pricing) performance and competitiveness, operation management (delivery) ability, after-sales service problem solving efficiency, price trend forecasting and market trend research, quality of cooperative relationships, and product delivery quality. Adama's overall performance in these dimensions was outstanding. In particular, it received a perfect score in the “price trend prediction and market trend analysis” dimension, and its professional research and judgment strength was highly recognized by the evaluators.
The weight of this honor stems from the deep influence of the awardees in the industry. SCA BRASIL ALIANÇA is a large-scale and influential agricultural enterprise procurement group in Brazil. Its business covers 16 Brazilian states, serving more than 50 cooperative customers, with annual transactions totaling R $3.4 billion; plant protection products are its second largest core business category, with an annual procurement amount of about R$657 million, and the business layout can meet more than 80% of the agricultural procurement needs of the Brazilian market. Being able to stand out from such a large procurement system is a high recognition of Adama's comprehensive service capabilities, product competitiveness, and level of localized operation.
Using this award as a new starting point, Adama will continue to deeply cultivate the Brazilian agricultural market, make full use of its global layout and product technology advantages, deepen all-round collaboration with Brazilian supply chain companies and their downstream core customers, continue to export high-quality plant protection products and agricultural solutions, and work together to promote mutually beneficial, win-win and collaborative high-quality development of the agricultural industry chain.
