In that year’s BiodieselBR conference, which had as its theme “The future of the Biodiesel sector after a year of pandemic”, the debate brought together the presidents of Abiove, Aprobio and Ubrabio and MME to talk about investments in this market

Editorial director of BiodieselBR said at the opening of the conference, “this was the worst year in investments for the biodiesel market in its entire history”.

For André Nassar, president of Abiove, the market is experiencing a “turbulent moment” that results in a smaller number of investments in the Biodiesel sector, than the consequences of the pandemic, which disorganized not only the fuel market, but also the of vegetable oil.

At the same time, there was a change in the export patterns of the soy complex, which took foreign sales far beyond initial projections, which then generated the challenges of guaranteeing market investments for the end of 2020. In this regard, Nassar praised the reconnection of the CMAB – Biodiesel Supply Monitoring Committee.
