The investments would boost the country's processing capacity by 8%, or roughly 6 million metric tons per year in a sector dominated by companies such as Bunge BG.N, ADM ADM.N, and Cargill. According to Abiove, companies are committed to increasing processing capacity to produce more biodiesel. If all planned investments are confirmed, Brazil's crushing capacity could rise to above 80 million tons per year, Abiove said. Compared to 2024, the number of soy processing firms in Brazil rose to 75 from 67, and the number of plants grew to 144 from 132, Abiove said. In 2025, the industry's idle capacity is equivalent to 3.87 million tons of processing per year, while in 2024 it was around 4.7 million tons.
