# Final RVOs discount industry's biofuel capabilities - Kansas Soybeans

> Soybean industry groups say the final RFS volumes for 2023 through 2025 are considerably below what the biofuel sector can produce. Biomass-based diesel output rose more than 30% in the first five months of 2023, while the mandate implies only a 21% increase from 2022 to 2025.
