The Brazilian Association of Vegetable Oil Industries (Abiove) predicts a record production of soybeans, reaching 153.6 million tons this year, due to high Chinese demand and crop failures in competing countries like Argentina. This increase in production is expected to boost internal processing and export of soy and its derivatives, with the gross value of production estimated at R$ 387 billion. The mixture of biodiesel and diesel is also anticipated to rise from 10% to 12%, leading to a 25% increase in domestic oil consumption. However, the export volume from Brazil remains uncertain due to factors such as Chinese demand and North American crop performance.
