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.
