> Brazil's biodiesel producers are facing margin pressure from high soybean oil feedstock costs, large finished-biodiesel inventories and subdued demand. Contract price differentials for November–December 2026 deliveries fell by over R$30/m³ versus September–October and turned negative in Mato Grosso and Rio Grande do Sul.

## Why it matters

Weak biodiesel offtake reduces soybean oil crush-linked demand, while the weaker real has lifted domestic soybean oil prices, pressuring processors and likely limiting contracted volumes into early 2027.
