4. Distance from Producing Areas to Crushing Facilities

5. Advantages of Local Small Scale Processing of Soybean through Extrusion-Pressing Freight of the soybean Freight of the expeller locally used Local use for oil – (Food, Biodiesel) Tax Advantages (50 % tax burden on soybean) Premium price for extruded-pressed expeller Control over quality of expeller Expeller 9 % Export Tax vs. 27 % for soybean
