SAO PAULO, April 29 (Reuters) - Brazil's Mato Grosso
farmers lobby Aprosoja-MT has filed a lawsuit against global
grain companies over Brazil's so-called "soy moratorium," a
voluntary agreement by traders which bans the purchase of
soybeans from areas of the Amazon deforested after 2008.
The defendants in the suit include the Brazilian units of
ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Louis Dreyfus Company and
COFCO, according to a copy of Aprosoja's complaint filed with
the court and seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
Lobbies for grain exporters, such as Abiove and Anc, are
included as defendants in the proceedings.
