PT_BR Caramuru Alimentos, a national leader in grain processing and biodiesel production, begins the 2025/2026 cycle with optimistic projections and a robust expansion plan. Despite the challenging scenario, the company estimates it will exceed its origination targets. The highlight of the season is the Sorriso region (MT), where the company projects significant growth of approximately 501 TP4T in the volume of non-GMO soybeans, jumping from 230,000 to 340,000 tons. In Goiás, the estimated growth is 101 TP4T compared to the previous cycle, with an origination target of 2.1 million tons.
“Our expectations for this harvest are very positive, as production forecasts in the regions where we operate are favorable, and we have a network of warehouses that guarantees our competitiveness in receiving grains. Even with tight market margins and the challenge of segregating non-GMO soybeans, we are confident that we will meet our origination targets with high logistical performance,” says Célio Garcia, Director of Origination and General Warehouses at the company.
The company's strategic focus during this period is to guarantee the supply of its industrial plants for the year 2026 and maintain the export flow. To enable this volume, Caramuru has mobilized its network of 49 storage units, totaling a capacity of over 2 million tons. The harvest, concentrated on GMO and NGO soybeans, demands high performance from the teams, especially due to the short working window and the rigorous segregation process for non-GMO soybeans. This competitive advantage requires continuous technical assistance to the producer, from seed selection to segregated handling and transport, ensuring product integrity throughout the chain.
To support this growth, Caramuru made strategic investments in infrastructure and multimodal logistics. Among the new developments are the construction of a new warehouse in Silvânia (GO), with a capacity of 60,000 tons, and the modernization of assets in Catalão (GO), with the replacement of dryers and new elevators.
In the logistics field, the company expanded its rail contracts with Rumo, at the São Simão Terminal, and with VLi, at the Ipameri industrial complex, where processing capacity was doubled for the current harvest. These investments in drying, thermometry, and aeration technology ensure that the raw material maintains the quality standards required by the market.
The integration between receiving units and highway, waterway, and rail systems ensures the necessary pace for outflow, consolidating the company's competitive position in the face of the logistical and market challenges of Brazilian agribusiness in the new cycle.
