The article highlights that the level of soy imports from Paraguay to the Gran Rosario terminals ranges between four million and six million tons per year, and is used by the Argentine oil industry to improve the protein content of soybean meal. One of the process practices that allow raising the protein content of the by-product consists of an additional process of drying the grain, he explained. The article refers to a report ...
