The goal is to ensure a unified global presence, including national subsidiaries that operate under different names for naming rights reasons, but with then unified and renewed Group logo and its mission / vision.

SA Group holds a global conference once every three years where employees from all over the world gather. The creation of the global brand identity was based on the ideas expressed by the employees at the conference. In 2020, the Summit Agro Group will also launch an organization called Global Business Development (GBD) to accelerate global collaboration in areas such as lifecycle management of existing products and development of bio-agricultural chemicals in order to expand the Group’s overall portfolio.

The new logo designs a circular image representing our global presence to work in harmony with growers all over the world. The different tones of orange evoking our works for the blight future like shinning Sun, and the green leaf, which reflects life, underlines our focus on agriculture, as well as our daily commitment to the environment and sustainable products for the growers and society benefits.

With this acquisition, Sumitomo aims to expand the operation’s sales territory in Brazil and achieve further business growth by linking Agro Amazonia’s extensive product portfolio

Japan based Sumitomo Corporation has reached an agreement with shareholders of Nativa Agronegócios & Representações LTDA. and Nativa Agrícola e Representação LTDA. (collectively, “Nativa”), an agricultural supplies distributor in southeastern Brazil, to acquire all shares of Nativa to make it a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition is through Agro Amazonia Produtos Agropecuários S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 2022 fiscal year once necessary approvals from relevant authorities are obtained.

With this acquisition, Sumitomo Corporation aims to expand the operation’s sales territory in Brazil and achieve further business growth by linking Agro Amazonia’s extensive product portfolio based on its strong relationships with agrochemical suppliers with Nativa’s fertilizer development and manufacturing capabilities and new customer segments.

In its medium-term management plan “SHIFT 2023”, Sumitomo Corporation has positioned agriculture as one of its next-generation growth fields and “Agricultural Input & Service” as a steady business growth category. In the agrochemicals field, Sumitomo Corporation started its agrochemical export business in the 1970s and currently operates an import and wholesale business in 37 countries overseas. In Europe, the company has expanded its value chain by acquiring agricultural supplies distributors. In the fertilizer field, since starting the fertilizer raw material import/export business in the 1950s, Sumitomo has built an integrated business base from importing fertilizer raw materials to manufacturers and selling direct to farmers, mainly in Japan and the Asia-Oceania region.

Established in 2000, Nativa is an agricultural supplies distributor with eight locations and a fertilizer manufacturing facility in the state of Minas Gerais, located in southeastern Brazil. In addition to soybeans and corn, the state of Minas Gerais is a region where coffee, fruit tree, and vegetable cultivation and seed production are thriving, especially among small and medium-sized farmers.

Agro Amazonia has been in business since in 1983 and is one of the largest agricultural supplies distributors in the Midwest of Brazil, operating 50 outlets in eight Brazilian states, mainly in the Mato Grosso region. Sumitomo Corporation acquired full ownership of the company in 2018 and has since contributed to the expansion of Agro Amazonia’s business by leveraging its financing, procurement, and business management expertise.
