That status, however, has changed: over the past three years, the three Dalla Vecchia siblings, heirs to the estate, have completed the intricate process of dividing the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously spanning 152,000 hectares\u2014about the size of the city of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2014Roncador has been in the family since 1978, when their grandfather, Pelerson Penido, founder of the CCR highway concessionaire, acquired it. Although it no longer claims the title of Brazil\u2019s largest, Roncador remains a model of sustainable cattle ranching in the Amazon. This reputation is so well-regarded that JBS CEO Gilberto Tomazoni often references Roncador in international forums as a shining example of responsible ranching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the division, Pelerson Penido Dalla Vecchia retained management of the newly defined Fazenda Roncador, transforming it from a loss-making entity into a profitable operation renowned for environmental stewardship. The property still preserves nearly 50% of its native forest cover and has used an integrated crop-livestock production system for over 15 years, with a significant reliance on biological inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Dalla Vecchia has restructured the management of the 53,000-hectare \u201cnew\u201d Roncador, forming a board of directors that includes Consultant Luiz Bouabci, Professor Wilma Bolsoni, and Zootechnician Ant\u00f4nio Chaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Fazenda Roncador in Quer\u00eancia, Dalla Vecchia retained a 50% stake in Fazenda Mantiqueira in S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Pindamonhangaba, leasing the other half from his sister under a 20-year agreement. He also heads Calc\u00e1rio Vale do Araguaia, a mining business with operations in Cocalinho and Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMining is critical for us,\u201d says Mr. Dalla Vecchia, noting that it generates profit and supplies materials for Roncador\u2019s productivity experiments. Through mining, Roncador tests crop growth without conventional fertilizers, using only calcium silicate rock powder and cattle manure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the farm\u2019s structure and size have shifted, its commitment to innovation remains constant. Mr. Dalla Vecchia sees no contradiction in using Roncador as a research platform while pursuing profitability. \u201cWe run many tests, measure everything, but never compromise results,\u201d he states. \u201cAnd we never chase profit at any cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farm is also investing in irrigation pivots covering 4,000 hectares, with a capital outlay between R$80 million and R$90 million, providing \u201cinsurance\u201d against climate variability. Additionally, Roncador is setting up small, modular soybean crushers to increase the amount of protein meal fed to cattle, which will, in turn, improve manure quality for crop nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roncador\u2019s many initiatives, most of them experimental, stand in contrast to the \u201csimplify-and-scale\u201d model often championed in corporate strategy. For many investment funds, startups, and economic players, simplification and the ability to easily replicate models are essential to business growth and success. However, Mr. Dalla Vecchia takes a different approach: while he scales up ideas that prove effective, his projects start with rigorous data analysis and statistics\u2014a method uncommon in many agriculture sectors, especially livestock. \u201cWe undertake these projects because they generate [financial] results. If a concept looks good on paper but doesn\u2019t hold up financially, it has no place here,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Mr. Dalla Vecchia advocates for biological inputs, Roncador\u2019s production is neither organic nor intended to be. \u201cWe use chemicals when needed,\u201d he says. \u201cAs the harvest progresses, pests concentrate in the remaining unharvested areas, intensifying pressure in those zones. If there\u2019s a fungal threat at that point, we apply fungicide.\u201d To explain the approach, he draws a parallel with human healthcare: \u201cIt\u2019s like taking antibiotics when you\u2019re ill\u2014you avoid it if you can, but you don\u2019t refuse it when necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*By Patrick Cruz, Globo Rural \u2014 S\u00e3o Paulo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Valor International<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/valorinternational.globo.com\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Known for sustainable practices, the company\u2019s Mato Grosso farm shifted from the largest cattle operation after property division 11\/12\/2024 Fazenda Roncador, located in Mato Grosso\u2019s Araguaia Valley, once held the title of Brazil\u2019s largest cattle ranch.
