    Cepea: Soybean sack down 3.3% in Paranaguá last week as stronger real cheapens domestic soy

    Brazil's soybean prices fell last week as the real's appreciation against the dollar cheapened soy on the domestic market, according to a survey by the Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics (Cepea). The 60-kg soybean sack averaged R$ 148.24 in the Paraná market last week, 3.8% lower than the week before; at the port of Paranaguá, the decline was milder at 3.3%, with the sack quoted at R$ 155.46. The commercial dollar fell 4.5% over the same period, based on the Central Bank rate, and the slide deepened after the first round of Brazil's presidential elections. Cepea noted that export volumes have been helping to support prices.

    BNDES approves R$150M loan to Soli3 cooperative for biodiesel market entry

    Brazil's development bank BNDES approved a R$150 million credit line for Soli3 União Central Cooperativa — a joint venture of the Rio Grande do Sul cooperatives Cotrijal, Cotripal and Cotrisal — to finance machinery and equipment for a soybean processing plant under construction. The loan, under the Fundo Clima – Máquinas Verdes program (the Climate Fund linked to the Environment Ministry and operated by BNDES), is part of a R$1.25 billion project to bring the cooperative into the biodiesel market. The credit has a two-year drawdown period, extendable by 12 months, and supports low-carbon transition and climate-adaptation goals alongside adding value to members' soybeans.
