BiodieselBR republishes a Reuters report quoting India’s Solvent Extractors’ Association. Its president forecasts sunflower-oil imports of 3.5 million tonnes in 2026/27, up 30%, following a crude-sunflower-oil tariff reduction; soyoil purchases are forecast at 5 million tonnes. These are attributed forecasts for the coming crop year, not realised imports.

Its headline states that 98% of contracted fuel was collected. The accessible article excerpt describes physical liftings, not installed production capacity.

BiodieselBR reports that ANP authorisations published on 28 September permit BMAX Biocombustível’s plant in Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso, to enter operation. Its stated annual capacity is 36,000 cubic metres. The report counts it as Brazil’s 60th biodiesel plant; authorisation and nameplate capacity do not establish realised production or sales.

Citing ANP’s weekly compilation, BiodieselBR reports an average distributor purchase price of BRL 5,552.71 per cubic metre for 14–20 September, up 1.1% from the previous week. It says rising production costs absorbed most of the increase, with its sector margin indicator moving from 4.9% to 5.1%. These are reported market indicators, not individual producer profits.
