Some Details About the Biodiesel Unit in Paraná
The construction of the new plant by the Agroindustrial Cooperative in Paraná will be fully automated, allowing it to extract an average of 1,500 tons of soybean oil every day. Valdemar Cremoneis, Cocamar’s industrial executive manager, stated that within the same planning cycle, the increase of 50% in soybean crushing capacity in the industry is expected to rise from 3,000 tons to 4,500 tons. According to him, this way, there will be more raw materials to supply the biodiesel plants and retail oil production.
The cooperative’s business director, Anderson Alves Bertolleti, stated that for the cooperatives, the biodiesel plant in Paraná will be a new business opportunity to add more value to their production. He emphasized that the cooperative is moving towards vertical integration of the soybean complex.
