Authorization to start production at the plant
Grupo Cereal has just obtained the operating authorization it needed to put into operation the biodiesel plant it built in Rio Verde – a municipality located in the south of Goiás, about 230 km from Goiânia.
The new biodiesel plant in Goiás will add another 216 thousand m³ in capacity to the Brazilian productive park, which will have more than 11,8 million m³ installed. The Cereal Group plant, in the state of Goiás, will share the 22nd place in the ranking of manufacturers with Delta de Rio Brilhante.
The Cereal Group took a position regarding the authorization and celebrated it in a statement directed to the public, through social networks:
The company's industrial complex is made up of factories and plants with state-of-the-art technology for soybean crushing (production of bran and degummed oil) and animal nutrition (feed, protein and mineral salts). The group also operates in the field of export (trade) and production of Biodiesel.

In March of this year, Cocamar started the construction of a new biodiesel plant in its industrial park in Maringá, in the state of Paraná. Foreseen in the strategic planning of the 2020/25 cycle, the plant received investments of BRL 40 million and is expected to start operating in December of this year, producing 300 tons/day. The association's enterprise, which aims to organize regional production, receive and process the product, will start production on December 15th.
The construction of the new Cooperativa Agroindustrial plant in Paraná will be fully automated, so that it can extract, on average, oil from 1.500 tons of soybeans every day. Valdemar Cremoneis, executive industrial manager at Cocamar, said that within the same planning cycle, the 50% increase in soybean crushing capacity in the industry should increase from 3.000 tons to 4.500 tons. According to him, in this way, they will have more raw materials to supply biodiesel plants and retail oil production.
The cooperative's business director, Anderson Alves Bertolleti, said that for the cooperative members, the biodiesel plant in Paraná will be a new business opportunity, so that it can add more value to its production. He pointed out that the cooperative is moving towards the verticalization of the soy complex. This year, Cocamar Cooperativa Agroindustrial is expected to process 1 million tons of grain at its plant, which represents more than half of the 1,7 million tons forecast for the 2020/21 harvest.
