Belem Bioenergia Brasil

What Belem Bioenergia Brasil does

Belem Bioenergia Brasil S.A. is a privately-held, vertically integrated Brazilian palm-oil producer headquartered in Belém, Pará. The company was established following a 2007 bilateral Brazil–Portugal agreement and began plantation operations in 2011 across two agro-industrial poles — Tailândia (extractor inaugurated 2018) and Tomé-Açu (extractor inaugurated 2020) — with the refinery added at Tailândia in 2020 to complete vertical integration from cultivation through to refined products.

The company's core technology is oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) cultivation, extraction and refining adapted to Amazon soil and climate conditions, producing four primary products: crude palm oil (CPO), crude palm kernel oil (CPKO), refined palm oil (RPO) and refined palm kernel oil (RPKO/RBD). It complements this production base with a circular-economy byproducts operation (~80,000 tonnes/year of biomass processed into organic compost capable of replacing chemical NPK on ~3,000 ha), an in-house AI tooling program (PalmaIA Race), and on-site solar generation at Tomé-Açu. Certifications include both RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) and Supply Chain Certification Standard (SCCS) — described as the only Brazilian operator with both active — plus FSSC 22000 (food safety), ISO 9001, and Kosher.

The business model combines enterprise B2B direct-sales of palm-oil derivatives to food (margarines, ice cream, baked goods, frying fats), cosmetics (soaps, shampoos, body oils), and biofuel (biodiesel) manufacturers, together with a community-embedded supply program: the Programa de Agricultura Familiar (PAF), which partners with 311 smallholder farmers across 52 communities under 25-year purchase contracts, with financing arranged via Banco da Amazônia through Pronaf Bioeconomia. The company has 1,001–5,000 employees, operates a 120 km radius of regional influence across eight Pará municipalities, and recorded historic agricultural, industrial, refining and commercial output volumes in October 2025.
