Princess Astrid of Belgium marked the signing of a cooperation agreement to implement Belgian technology in Brazil's largest soybean milling plant, located in Lapa, part of the Curitiba metropolitan area. This project, a collaboration between Desmet Brasil and Grupo Potencial, aims to process 3,500 tons of grain daily. The facility will be equipped with large storage silos for soybeans and bagasse, the latter being a byproduct of oil extraction that can be utilized for feed and other products. The project is designed to enhance Brazil's biodiesel and fuel distribution, production, and transport sectors.
