– Located within the Potencial Group Industrial Complex in Lapa (PR), next to the largest biodiesel plant in the country, the new factory is born integrated into an ecosystem of high efficiency and innovation.
– The project includes the construction of a railway terminal, connecting the factory to the rail line leading to the Port of Paranaguá, optimizing logistics and expanding competitiveness in the international market.
– Potencial Agro’s new soybean crushing plant is a milestone in technology and productivity for the renewable energy sector in Brazil.
– In addition to consolidating a leading role in the decarbonization of the economy, the investment promotes state development through the internal processing of part of the soybean produced in Paraná.
– Soybean meal and soybean hulls, more than just co-products of soybean crushing, are strategic products that complement the Group’s portfolio.
– With an investment of US$ 330 million in the first phase, the industrial plant will generate 250 direct jobs and 3 thousand indirect positions.
– As the Potencial Group’s largest investment, the project reinforces the company’s plans to become a leader in the biodiesel production sector.
One of the direct effects on the economy is the reduction of production costs for animal feed on Paraná farms, as the state is the largest producer of poultry and runner-up for swine in national rankings.
The industry that is already born with giant potential
Potencial Agro will inaugurate, in 2026, one of the largest soybean crushing plants in Brazil. With the capacity to process 3,500 tons of grain per day, the plant will process 1.15 million tons per year, representing 5% of all soybean production in Paraná.
Soybean Hull is a valuable subproduct of the agro-industry, widely used as an input in animal nutrition due to its high fiber content and digestibility. We offer a standardized product with traceability and safety, ideal for production systems seeking efficiency and full utilization of agricultural resources.
Soybean Meal is one of the market’s main sources of vegetable protein, intended for high-performance animal nutrition. Marketed with quality control, guaranteed origin, and logistical safety, it meets the requirements of national and international markets that value nutritional yield and supply chain reliability.
Soybean Oil is produced with selected raw materials, offering purity, stability, and high performance for industrial and energy applications, such as biodiesel production. A versatile product with traceability and efficient logistics that delivers value at every stage of the chain.
