“For over 12 years, Cocamar has been betting on Citrix technologies to enhance the user experience and empower its staff through digital workspaces, and this plant would be no different.

Cocamar Now Has A Specialized Structure For The Acquisition Of Ethanol From Plants And Its Distribution To Distributors
The Superintendent of Business, Anderson Bertolleti, observes that the new activity in the biodiesel market, besides being an opportunity for tax gains through ICMS recovery, contributes to increasing the cooperative’s revenue, projected at R$ 5.8 billion in 2020.
Regardless of the fluctuations in biodiesel consumption, whose competitiveness is at the mercy of the ups and downs of gasoline, ethanol has a consolidated and exponential market in the country, due to being obtained from renewable sources: sugarcane and, to a lesser extent, corn.
One of the first clients of the Ethanol Trading Company is Raízen Combustibles (Shell), which purchased 500,000 liters. The expectation is to further consolidate the Cocamar name in this market, seeking more partners and business opportunities, according to the commercial manager of fuels, Cléverton Ruffo.
