Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History • Our History •

Founded in 2002 by brothers Leandro and Luciano Carneiro, Milhão began as a dream in Goiás. Our focus has always been to go beyond the grain, creating innovative solutions for industries around the world. In 2024, we established a strategic partnership with Amaggi, strengthening our global market leadership and doubling our production capacity.

Our journey is marked by growth, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability and quality. More than just a company, we are a living story of transformation.

In February 2024, a new chapter was written. Milhão established a strategic partnership with Amaggi, one of Brazil’s largest agribusiness companies. This alliance not only strengthened our market position but also doubled our production capacity with the acquisition of Louis Dreyfus Company’s (LDC) corn processing unit in Rio Verde, Goiás. Today, we process 280,000 tons per year, reinforcing our commitment to excellence.

Our journey is marked by growth alongside partners, regenerative agricultural practices, and certifications that reflect our dedication to quality and sustainability.

What began as a dream of the Carneiro brothers has become a shared mission: to nourish a healthier and more sustainable world. More than just a company, we are a living story of transformation, where innovation, respect for the land, and the courage to go beyond guide us toward the future.
