Soybean

Main crop cultivated in Bom Futuro units, totaling an approximate production of 1.3 million tons per harvest.

The world's largest agricultural commodity, it is considered the most cost-effective plant-based protein for the production of meat, eggs, milk and dairy products. Its use has been diversifying, with its oil being widely used as a raw material in the production of biodiesel and diesel oil, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Its use as a raw material has also been growing in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, veterinary, varnish, paint and plastic, adhesive and fiber industries, among others.

At Bom Futuro, soybeans play a prominent role, with an area cultivated of over 310 thousand hectares, with an average current yield of around 68 sacks per hectare, totaling an annual volume of approximately 1.3 million tons.

Bom Futuro dedicates around 22% of its area to planting conventional soybeans, around 70 thousand hectares, offering this alternative product to the market.

We have 22 UBAG warehouses (Grain Processing and Storage Units) strategically distributed throughout all regions of the State of Mato Grosso, which allows us to store all of our soybean and corn production, as well as, since 1999, through certification and accreditation, offer storage services to third parties and operate with contracts with CONAB - National Supply Company. Our grain storage capacity is 1.45 million tons/year. In the first half of the year the warehouse is usually operating with soybeans and in the second half with corn.

The wood chips and firewood used to dry products in the agro-industrial process come from our own reforestation. We have invested in automating the grain processing process, offering greater safety, drying and aeration performance, saving resources and thus ensuring greater quality to the final product.
