Soybean · Sunflower
Dual bulk vegetable oil offering: Paraguayan degummed soybean and crude sunflower, ready for refining, biofuels and industrial applications. Optimised logistics in flexitanks and marine bulk.
We trade two vegetable oils under a single logistics operation: Degummed Soybean Oil, extracted from Paraguayan soybeans and degummed to reduce phosphorus content (≤ 200 ppm), and Crude Sunflower Oil, extracted from domestic seeds and delivered without neutralisation. Both products ship in bulk to industrial customers with in-house processing capacity.
Degummed soybean oil is attractive to refineries that move straight into neutralisation, bleaching and deodorisation, and to biodiesel plants that value origin-controlled phosphorus. Crude sunflower oil, with higher admissible acidity (≤ 2.0%) and a linoleic-rich profile, supplies edible-oil refineries and oleochemistry projects that require the unsaturated fatty acid profile characteristic of the crop.
1. Soybean — extraction and degumming. Paraguayan soybeans are conditioned, flaked and solvent-extracted with hexane. The resulting crude oil is water-degummed to precipitate phosphatides (gums), bringing phosphorus down to a maximum of 200 ppm and delivering a stable oil for refining or biodiesel.
2. Sunflower — mechanical and solvent extraction. Domestic sunflower seeds are pressed and then subjected to a second hexane extraction to recover residual oil from the cake. Crude sunflower oil is delivered without neutralisation, with the crop's natural acidity and colour and an iodine value of 115 – 138 that reflects its linoleic-rich profile.
3. Shared dispatch. Both oils are stored in a cool, dry and dark location and dispatched in bulk (marine cargo or flexitanks) with a certificate of quality per shipment and a 12-month shelf life.
Both oils are direct inputs for refineries running neutralisation, bleaching and deodorisation in-house. Degummed soybean reduces pretreatment load; crude sunflower contributes a neutral sensory profile and broad end-use versatility.
Classic raw material for conventional biodiesel (FAME) and renewable diesel (HVO/HEFA). Degummed soybean's low phosphorus simplifies transesterification; crude sunflower delivers an unsaturated-rich matrix for catalytic hydrogenation.
Base for distilled fatty acids, esters, glycerine, technical soaps, surfactants and biodegradable lubricants. Each oil's fatty acid profile enables different chemical routes depending on the target end product.
Energy concentrate for feedlot cattle, swine and poultry rations. Improves caloric density of the diet and the palatability of pellets and mash.
Input compliant with Codex Alimentarius CXS 210-1999 (soybean) and bilateral commercial agreements (sunflower). Suitable for margarines, industrial frying, sauces and vegetable blends after the corresponding processing.
