Starting Soya Oil Extraction Plant in Brazil

Brazil is the world's leading soybean oil exporter accounting for 30% of the crop’s global production. Soybean farming is one of the primary bases of Brazil's economy with over 29 million hectares of land used for farming the crop in the country. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Brazil produced 114.5 million Tons in 2017 and is expected to expect to harvest over 116 million Tons in 2018.

In addition, soybeans grown in Brazil have a higher oil and protein content compared to many other countries in the world. The high quality of Brazilian soybeans has helped shift buyer interest in the international market to Brazilian soybeans. ABC Machinery has built many successful soybean oil production plant around the world. The following table shows some of our soybean oil milling project for your references:

Brazil's Soya Oil Extraction Industry

Soya Oil Production by Country (1000 MT)
China 16,576
United States 10,898
Argentina 8,390
Brazil 8,195
EU-27 3,154
India 1,692

Soya oil results from pressing and separating soybeans, a process known as crushing. The country has a crush capacity of 113,000 tons per day which is the second largest in the world after The United States. Due to the legacy of government intervention in the 1970s, Brazil's soya oil extraction industry comprises of smaller processing plants as opposed to the nation's soya oil export rivals; The United States and Argentina. The largest soya oil extraction plant in Brazil can process 3,800 tons per day. The country also has over 60 extraction plants which produce over 40% of the country's output.

The soya oil demand growth is most active outside the country. The international demand has led to Brazil contributing to 30% of the soya oil global market.

Associated economic impact, favorable government policy interventions, and geographic location give room for marketing opportunities for oil mill processors in the country. In addition, Soybeans widespread use and favorable logistics make them very conducive to trade in Brazil.

Factors Contributing to the Success of Soya Oil Production in Brazil

The remarkable success of soya oil production in the country is mainly attributed to subsidies and agricultural policies favoring the crop’s production. The main factors include:

  • Establishment of a significant industrial soybean processing infrastructure;
  • Efficient mechanical harvesting;
  • Correction of soil fertility;
  • Reduced tax burdens;
  • Improvements in roads;
  • Brazil's rich soil;

Application of Soya Oil Processing

Soya oil, like all other oils from vegetable origin, does not contain cholesterol. It is primarily used as table oil although the modern search for alternative sources of energy has stimulated consumption of soya oil as a fuel. The oil finds its way into food products like cooking oils, salad dressing, margarine and industrial products such as biodiesel fuel and plastics.

Lecithin, which is extracted from Soya oil is a natural emulsifier and lubricant and can be used for everything from protective chocolate coatings to pharmaceuticals. After removal of the oil, remaining soybean flakes can be processed into soy protein foods and animal feeds.

Conclusion

Soy oil production in Brazil is an ideal investment mainly because of the world's increased use of vegetable oil as opposed to animal fats, policies in place favoring the oil's production and high global demand of the high-quality Brazilian soya oil.
