The expectation is that the project will begin operating next month, Governor Reinaldo Azambuja announced this week.
“We signed an agreement with Lar Cooperativa Agroindustrial for the operation of this complex in Caarapó, which has grain storage bases in Bandeirantes, Bela Vista and Ponta Porã. This shows the confidence that the business community has in Mato Grosso do Sul, which is increasingly competitive”, highlighted the governor.
Lar's new biodiesel plant has the capacity to process 1,5 tons of soy per day. It is also capable of producing 300 tons of biodiesel every 24 hours. The entire structure of the industry stood still for 11 years. Until it was bought and revitalized by Lar last year.
“We have been investing in Caarapó for two years now to start running this soy industry that will process 450 tons of the grain per year and generate revenues close to R$ 1 billion. For this, the State Government gave us the conditions to be able to operate in a competitive way”, stated Lar's CEO, Irineo da Costa Rodrigues.
Located near the BR-163, in an area of 30 hectares, the Caarapó biodiesel plant has structures for receiving grain in cities that, until recently, were not suitable for agriculture, such as Bandeirantes and Bela Vista.
Every proposal, according to Secretary Jaime Verruck (Environment, Economic Development, Production and Family Agriculture), is part of the Mato Grosso do Sul Government's strategic line of seeking new entrepreneurs, adding value to production and generating more jobs.
Incentive to cooperativism in Mato Grosso do Sul
The installation of Lar's biodiesel plant in Caarapó, within the State Program for the Development and Strengthening of Cooperativism in Mato Grosso do Sul (Procoop), contributes to the development of the activity that in 2017 was responsible for 10% of the State GDP.
Today, Lar is considered one of the main Cooperatives from Paraná. The group has been in the state for more than 20 years, has 17 locations of operations and has 37 warehouses. “Certainly, we have one of the largest static capacity for receiving and storing grains in MS”, highlighted CEO Irineo Rodrigues.
