Description:	The demand for vegetable oils has increased considerably in Brazil since 2003, due to the launch of the National Program for the Production and Use of Biodiesel (PNPB, in Portuguese) and will reach around 840 million liters of biodiesel in 2008The government expects that part of this demand will be met through the supply of raw material by family farmers in the north and northeast areas of the country. This goal is supported by state governments in the northeastern region, which are encouraging social and regional development.
