# Dual Duarte Secures R$ 356 Million BNDES Financing to Expand Cottonseed Meal and Biodiesel Production in Mato Grosso

> Dual Duarte secured R$356.5 million in BNDES financing to expand cottonseed meal and biodiesel production in Mato Grosso. Most of the funding will build a high-protein cottonseed meal plant, expected to be completed by December 2027, with more than half of its output intended for export; the remainder will double the capacity of its biodiesel plant in Pedra Preta to 375 million liters annually.

## Why it matters

The new facility could increase Brazilian cottonseed meal supply and export availability, adding competition for other protein meals. Expanded crushing and biodiesel capacity may also raise demand for soybean and cottonseed feedstocks, with price effects dependent on output and export flows.
