About Aceites Los Colonos
Aceites y Pellets Los Colonos is the oilseed crushing business of Colonias Unidas, which takes members' soybeans and turns them into own-production soy oil and the protein pellets sold as animal feed. It is the unit that gives the co-operative its export weight, and it also processes tung oil, an industrial drying oil pressed from the nuts of the tung tree, which the 2025 accounts carry as a separate crop with its own harvest-year stocks. The oil business, the seed business and the feed mill together are what the co-operative means by adding value to what its members grow.

About the owner: Colonias Unidas
Colonias Unidas is a cooperative headquartered in Obligado, Paraguay, founded in 1953. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control.
Colonias Unidas is a multi-active agro-industrial co-operative based in Obligado, in the Itapúa department of southern Paraguay, and the most important co-operative in the country's south-east. It was founded by 78 farmers from Hohenau, Obligado and Bella Vista, who formed an organising committee on 16 November 1952, approved statutes at a constituent assembly on 8 March 1953 and were officially recognised on 21 April 1953 as the Sociedad Cooperativa Colonias Unidas Agrícola Limitada. It has roughly 4,000 active members and 1,800 permanent employees, rising to about 1,900 in harvest season. Its business units run the whole chain — technical assistance and inputs for members, then collection, industrial processing and sale of what they grow — across soy oil and pellets, dairy, yerba mate, seeds, animal feed, a supermarket and hypermarket, service stations, an agro-industrial laboratory and a prepaid medical service.
