**2. Agricultural wastes**

Presently, organic and agro-industrial residues constitutes a great share in overall global wastes as depicted in **Figure 4a** which makes it crucial to effectively manage to exploit it. As biomass feedstocks are abundant, it has high likelihood for future application in biorefinery technologies [14, 16]. It was believed that the biomass wastes in Latin America that has most of the lignocelluloses are mostly acquired from maize, soybean, and sugarcane residues [17].
