What Bocchi Agrobios does

Bocchi Agrobios is a privately held Brazilian agribusiness headquartered in Ibiraiaras, Rio Grande do Sul, that operates an integrated value chain spanning agricultural input distribution, grain origination and storage, soybean crushing, and biodiesel/glycerin production. The company serves small and large agricultural producers across Rio Grande do Sul through 14 physical locations (headquarters, 12 grain receiving/storage units, and a soybean processing factory in Muitos Capões), supported by a field force providing technical assistance across the planting-to-harvest cycle.

The company's core production infrastructure consists of a 1,400 tons-per-day soybean processing facility that yields approximately 74.3% soybean meal, 19.8% degummed oil (subsequently converted to biodiesel), and 1.9% soybean hulls, plus a biodiesel/glycerin plant producing approximately 1,000 tons of glycerin per month, of which 95% is exported for use in cosmetics, clothing, pharmaceuticals, automotive lubricants, green plastics, and biogas. Twelve grain storage units commercialize soybeans, corn, and wheat received from producers, cooperatives, and merchants. Revenue is generated through commodity sales (meal, oil, biodiesel, glycerin), agricultural input sales (Yara fertilizers, Bayer crop protection products, seeds), and storage/commercialization fees, all priced via quote-based B2B transactions with no public pricing. The company distributes products through direct field sales, the Orbia online marketplace storefront (which incorporates the Impulso Bayer loyalty and exclusive experiences program), and international export channels for glycerin.

The business is supported by 133 employees and operates without disclosed parent ownership, public listing, or external institutional investors.
