History and Development

Cresud was founded in 1936 with a focus on developing and managing agricultural land for food production in Argentina.

In its early years, the company concentrated on expanding its land base, improving productivity and diversifying agricultural outputs. Growth was driven by expansion into livestock operations, entry into new regional markets and the development of rural property portfolios.

During the 1990s and 2000s, Cresud strengthened its presence in South America through strategic investments and acquisitions, increasing its exposure to large-scale agricultural production. In 1997, the company completed its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq, enabling access to capital to support expansion and diversification.

In recent years, the company has operated in a context shaped by climate variability, commodity price fluctuations and regional economic conditions.
