The New Biodiesel Plant in Mato Grosso Will Have an Estimated Annual Capacity of 300 Thousand Tons and Will Already Count on Soybean Oil Supply
One of the largest groups in Brazilian soy cultivation is set to enter the biodiesel market. AMAGGI is building its first plant in the city of Lucas do Rio Verde, in the state of Mato Grosso, where the group already has a soybean crushing industrial complex. Announced in 2018, construction of the industrial plant began in October 2020 as another step forward in the sustainable evolution of the state’s agribusiness.

Strategic Location and More Details of the Biodiesel Plant in Mato Grosso
The location of the new biodiesel plant could not be more favorable, as the city of Lucas do Rio Verde is situated in one of the main agricultural production regions of Mato Grosso and has housed AMAGGI’s grain crushing industry for over 10 years. It is within this industrial complex that over 26,000 m2 of built area for the new biodiesel processing plant is being erected.
This new biodiesel plant will have an estimated annual capacity of 300 thousand tons and will already rely on soybean oil supply from the existing crushing industry in the complex, with a processing capacity of about 1.2 million tons of grains per year. All this volume of biodiesel can be marketed and transported to distribution bases in Mato Grosso or other states to be blended with mineral diesel.

In Addition to the Unit in Mato Grosso, the Company Announces Construction of a New Fertilizer Mixing Plant in Porto Velho
The fertilizer mixing plant to be built at the Portochuelo terminal, on the banks of the Madeira River, with investments of BRL 102 million by AMAGGI, is expected to be completed within a year. It will be the second unit of this nature in the region with the potential to produce 200 thousand tons/year, along with the simultaneous construction of a backup warehouse with static capacity to store 40 thousand tons to meet the needs of rural producers in Rondônia, Acre, Amazonas, and the northwest of Mato Grosso. The first mixed factory unit was built in Comodoro in (MT), 100 kilometers away from Vilhena.
The construction of the plant in Porto Velho was made possible by grain exports via the Madeira-Amazon waterway and by raw material imports through Itacoatiara. The Secretary of Agriculture, Evandro Padovani, who received the report along with Governor Marcos Rocha from AMAGGI’s CEO, Judiney Carvalho, emphasizes that the fertilizer plant to be implemented will stimulate the region’s farmers who will have access to a quality product.
