Brazilian biodiesel industry pushing for early B13

In Brazil, Terra reports that the Brazilian biodiesel industry is begging the government to speed up the implementation of B13 in an effort to support prices during the COVID-19 pandemic. National policy foresees a 1% increase in the blending mandate every year through 2023 when it is meant to reach 15%. The blend increased to 12% just in March. The increase to 13% will increase soy oil demand sufficiently to fill the gap with the demand destruction caused by controls put in place to slow the spread of the virus.
