Cargill is betting on Brazil biofuel refineries

Source : bizjournals.com

Cargill Inc. has joined with Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. to invest about $560 million in new biofuel refineries in Brazil, Bloomberg reports. Brazil already has twice the biofuel refinery capacity that it needs, but the Wayzata-based Cargill and other agribusiness players are betting that the government there will double the amount of biofuel that must be blended into petroleum-based diesel.

"Brazil is bound to increase the biodiesel blend to 7% in the next 5 months", said Paulo Jose Fuga, a manager at Fuga Couros SA.
