COFCO will invest over R$ 2 billion in Rondonópolis to double the factory’s capacity and transform the unit into the largest soybean crushing complex in Brazil

COFCO confirmed an investment of over R$ 2 billion to expand the factory in Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso, with delivery expected by early 2028 and the goal of transforming the unit into the largest soybean crushing complex in Brazil.

Confirmed investment from the Chinese giant

The announcement was confirmed by the city hall of Rondonópolis, a municipality in Mato Grosso recognized for its strong agribusiness and relevance in the soybean supply chain.

With the construction, COFCO aims to expand its industrial structure in an already existing area, next to the railway terminal, reinforcing the flow of production.

Factory capacity

Currently, the unit processes 4,500 tons of soy per day. After the expansion, the capacity is expected to reach around 10,000 tons daily.

The plant produces soybean meal, soybean oil, and biodiesel, which are central products of the industrial operation maintained by the Chinese multinational in the municipality.

Weight of Rondonópolis

Rondonópolis is one of the main agribusiness hubs in the country and ranks as the second largest economy in Mato Grosso.

The municipality is often referred to as the Capital of Agribusiness due to its role in logistics, industrialization, and the flow of soy.

Dispute for the title

Despite the reference to Rondonópolis, the official and most common title of National Capital of Agribusiness is attributed to Sorriso, also in Mato Grosso.

The justification is linked to the higher production of the grain in the state, which keeps Sorriso as the main national reference in this segment.

The forecast is that the factory expansion will be completed by early 2028. Until then, the investment is expected to consolidate soy as the central axis of COFCO’s industrial project in Rondonópolis.
