At This Year’s BiodieselBR Conference, Titled “The Future of the Biodiesel Sector After a Year of Pandemic,” the Debate Gathered the Presidents of Abiove, Aprobio, and Ubrabio and MME to Talk About Investments in This Market

The Editor-in-Chief of BiodieselBR stated at the conference opening, “this was the worst year for investments in the biodiesel market in its entire history.” Despite all the issues at hand, this storm will pass, and the sector urgently needs to start discussing the major challenges that lie ahead in the coming years.

Abiove President Discusses Crisis Moment in the Biodiesel Market and Lack of Investments

At the same time, there has been a shift in the export patterns of the soybean complex, which drove external sales well beyond initial projections, creating challenges to secure market investments for the end of 2020. In this regard, Nassar praised the reconnection of the CMAB – Biodiesel Supply Monitoring Committee.
