Soy Storage Facilities - Sistema de Cadastro Nacional de Unidades Armazenadoras (SICARM)

The soy storage facility data is scraped from CONAB's website where it comes from two main sources:

  • https://portaldeinformacoes.conab.gov.br/ - here is where all information cames from, except CNPJ
  • https://sisdep.conab.gov.br/consultaarmazemweb - where CNPJ is retrived and merged to the mais dataset.

It produces the file below: - brazil/logistics/sicarm/out/sicarm_{year}.csv
