Congratulations to the winners of the IFAMA 2025 Global Student Case Competition, held in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil as part of IFAMA’s 35th Annual World Conference. This prestigious event brought together 26 teams from across the globe to tackle real-world challenges facing two of Brazil’s agribusiness leaders, SLC Agrícola and Atvos. After weeks of preparation and intense on-site competition, these emerging leaders impressed CEOs and judges alike with their innovative strategies and sharp business insights. Beyond the casework, students forged global connections, deepened their understanding of Brazil’s vibrant food and bioenergy sectors, and gained invaluable experience that will help shape their professional paths. Congratulations to all who competed!
