A empresa de agronegócio 3tentos reduziu suas perspectivas da safra de soja para esta temporada devido às enchentes que assolam o Rio Grande do Sul.

Parte importante das operações da 3tentos está sediada no estado, segundo maior produtor de soja do país, que enfrenta fortes chuvas desde 29 de abril. As enchentes já mataram 107 pessoas, segundo a Defesa Civil.

Como resultado, a safra de soja do Rio Grande do Sul pode cair para 20 milhões t-21 milhões de t, ante 23 milhões t-24 milhões de t previstas anteriormente, de acordo com o presidente da 3tentos, Luis Osório Dumoncel. Pelo menos 80pc da soja colhida este ano está armazenada em armazéns ou portos.

"Temos trabalhado incansavelmente para manter todas as operações de fornecimento de insumos, grãos, rações e biocombustíveis", disse o executivo durante teleconferência de resultados trimestrais.

A companhia vê um "pequeno risco" para suas cadeias de oferta de pesticidas, sementes e fertilizantes, devido às inundações. Do lado logístico, rotas alternativas de exportação também têm sido utilizadas para escoar produtos como o farelo de soja, explicou o diretor operacional João Marcelo Dumoncel.

Resultados do 1º tri

As vendas da 3tentos no primeiro trimestre atingiram R$2,68 bilhões, alta de 48,5pc em relação ao mesmo período do ano anterior, impulsionadas pelos segmentos de indústria, biodiesel e farelo de soja.

O segmento industrial, o maior da empresa, foi responsável por R$1,52 bilhão em vendas, subindo 69pc na base anual.

As receitas de farelo de soja e outros produtos totalizaram R$927,6 milhões, 72pc acima do primeiro trimestre de 2023. As vendas de biodiesel aumentaram 64pc, para R$591 milhões, graças à elevação do mandato de mistura do biocombustível de 12pc para 14pc desde março.

"Temos certeza de que a operação de biodiesel ajudará na margem da empresa neste ano", contou Dumoncel. As margens de esmagamento de soja da empresa cresceram 3,3pc no trimestre, fixando-se em R$ 442/t, fortelecidas pela produção de biodiesel.

As vendas de grãos da 3tentos avançaram quase 27pc, para R$560 milhões. As receitas no segmento de matérias-primas agrícolas — como fertilizantes, pesticidas e sementes — alcançaram R$601 milhões no primeiro trimestre, salto de 35pc na variação anual.

No período, a receita da companhia totalizou R$156,44 milhões, aumento de 51pc.

A 3tentos também iniciou a construção de sua primeira unidade de moagem de milho para produção de etanol e grãos secos de destilaria (DDG, na sigla em inglês). A empresa concluiu esta semana a emissão de títulos de dívida no valor de R$560,73 milhões.

Marine biodiesel may face future supply constraints:DNV

London, 16 January (Argus) — The use of biofuels in maritime transport has good potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in shipping, but its supply may become tight in the future, according to Norwegian classification agency DNV. A vast majority of biodiesel production is currently routed towards the road sector, as most European countries have biofuel blending requirements for road diesel and gasoline. DNV's report said that the percentage of marine biodiesel used in shipping accounted for 0.3pc of the sector's total energy use in 2023 — according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Fatty acid methyl ester (Fame) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) are currently the primary types of biofuels used in marine biodiesel blends, with Fame most prominent. The report acknowledged that waste-based Fame biodiesel can be utilised to meet regulations such as FuelEU Maritime , which came into effect this year, and potential International Maritime Organisation (IMO) mid-term measures in 2027 — which DNV expects to significantly boost demand for marine biodiesel. But with increasing demand and incentives to switch to marine biodiesel from conventional bunker fuels, the report pointed to potential supply limitations in the long term. These include scarcity of advanced waste-based feedstock and competition with other sectors such as aviation. Feedstock challenges could revolve around sources such as used cooking oil (UCO), and as a result DNV said that some suppliers are "investigating" the viability of alternative waste feedstocks that can feed into the marine sector. Biofuels produced from food and feed crops are not viable for regulations such as FuelEU Maritime, and it remains unclear whether they can meet the sustainability criteria under upcoming IMO mid-term measures. Further to feedstock scarcity are concerns around competition with other sectors, which have been voiced by market participants. But some participants have also said that while biodiesel suppliers may channel their feedstock towards aviation fuels because of higher margins, a potential source of fuel for marine could stem from by-products of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. DNV's report also advised caution when using biofuels that do not comply with ISO 8217:2024 . This is more specifically relevant to off-spec biofuel blends or blends comprising novel feedstocks such as cashew nut shell liquid .

Brazil to face weaker La Nina conditions

Brazil to face weaker La Nina conditions

Sao Paulo, 16 January (Argus) — Many government agencies expect a weaker La Nina weather pattern in Brazil — partially because of its delayed start — that could help reverse damages from a previous droughtand boost hydroelectric power generation. La Nina conditions emerged a month later than expected, starting only in January, according to national meteorology institute Inmet. Its presence was confirmed by the US' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and is 40pc likely to last until March-May. Delayed La Nina conditions and its weaker effects on Brazil's climate may be linked to the global average temperature hitting an all-time high in 2024 , according to the World Meteorological Organization. La Nina conditions develop when the surface waters in the tropical Pacific Ocean are cooler-than-average across the central and central-eastern regions. But global oceans have been running much warmer for more than a year, which could have delayed the phenomena, according to NOAA. Its usually causes heavier rains in Brazil's northern and northeastern regions, while central-southern states experience drier weather and heatwaves. Brazil, along with South America as a whole, has a history of droughts , agricultural losses , and higher ethanol prices in previous La Nina seasons, but the effects this year will be milder and potentially beneficial to industries in some regions. Agriculture Despite its conditions set to last throughout the first quarter of 2025, Brazil's 2024-25 crop is expected to hit a record 322.3mn metric tonnes (t), up from 297.8mn t in the previous crop, according to national supply company Conab. Still, most forecasts rely on previous favorable conditions during the development of the 2024-25 crop. The soybean crop is set to be 13pc higher than in 2023-24, reaching 166.33mn t. Corn also is expected to increase production, reaching 119.6mn, a 3.3pc rise from the previous crop. But previous dry weather and low precipitation harmed center-southern sugarcane producers, which are responsible for 91pc of the national sugarcane output. The 2024-25 sugarcane crop is forecast to reach 678.7mn t, a 4.8pc decline from the previous season, according to Conab. La Nina's conditions may recover some of the sugarcane crop this season. Northeastern sugarcane production, harmed by last year's drought, will face a period of heavy rains brought by the phenomenon in January. But the sugarcane crop is already projected to decline by 30pc from the previous crop regardless, according to northeastern sugarcane producers' association Unida. The last time La Nina hit Brazil, in 2020-23, roughly 40pc of the main center-south sugarcane crop was at risk from dry weather . Ethanol Ethanol production is set to increase by 1.3pc in 2024-25 from the previous season, according to Conab. Still, sugarcane ethanol is outlined to shrink by 2.8pc thanks to 2024's dry weather and wildfires in the southeast. Electricity La Nina's late arrival enabled the summer rainy period in Brazil. The main hydroelectric reservoirs recovered from last year's drought and will end this month above half of their capacity, according to national grid operator ONS. Regardless of La Nina's presence, most of the central-southern states are expected to have above-average rains in January-April, according to Inmet. Temperatures are also set to stay above the historical average in the central-western, southeastern, southern and northern states.
