Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria CRESY

Company Overview

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria is an Argentine-based diversified holding company primarily engaged in agribusiness and real estate investment, with additional exposure to financial investments. The company’s core activities include the acquisition, development, exploitation, and sale of agricultural land, as well as ownership and management of income-producing real estate assets through controlling stakes in publicly listed subsidiaries. Cresud operates across the agricultural production, land development, and commercial and residential real estate industries.

Founded in 1936, Cresud initially focused on agricultural land ownership and cattle operations in Argentina. Over time, it evolved into a strategic holding company, expanding into real estate and financial investments, most notably through its controlling interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A., one of Argentina’s largest real estate companies. Cresud’s long-term strategy has emphasized land value appreciation, operational improvement of agricultural assets, and capital allocation through subsidiaries operating in cyclical but asset-backed sectors.
