About Oleoplan
For over 40 years, Oleoplan has operated in the soybean processing sector, and in 2007, with the start of biodiesel production, it was a pioneer in the sector in Rio Grande do Sul. Today, they have two soybean processing and biodiesel production units, one in Veranópolis (RS) and another in Iraquara (BA). The biodiesel plant in Veranópolis is the largest in Rio Grande do Sul and, together with the plant in Iraquara, produces 10% of the national production of this biofuel.
In addition to the two industrial parks, Oleoplan has a corporate office in Porto Alegre (RS), a waterway terminal in Canoas (RS) for exporting its products, and more than 20 branches for receiving grains spread across the northwestern and northeastern regions of Rio Grande do Sul. Together, the branches have a storage capacity of over 500,000 tons and form a support network for thousands of family agriculture suppliers, providing training and ongoing technical assistance to these farmers.
