Project Valued at US$ 400 Million Foresees Operation of the Plant Already in 2023 and Is Expected to Create Approximately 2,500 Jobs in Ceará

For the construction of a mining-industrial complex for the joint production of fertilizers and animal nutrition, the Government of Ceará signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the installation at the Itataia Plant, in Santa Quitéria. The project is expected to generate 2,500 jobs, of which 500 will be direct.

The signing was finalized on the afternoon of Monday (28). The investments are estimated at US$ 400 million and foresee the operation of the plant already in 2023, with the jobs created through the Santa Quitéria Consortium, formed by the Nuclear Industries of Brazil (INB) and fertilizer industry Galvani.

“This project belongs to Ceará, but it will certainly have an impact on economic sectors throughout the country. My word, in addition to gratitude, is hope. This was an old project that Ceará has long desired, and it will generate a lot of jobs and income for our state. We will have a significant demand for the production of fertilizers and supplements in animal feed, where we can be self-sufficient,” said the Governor of Ceará, Camilo Santana.

According to the Secretary of Economic Development and Labor (Sedet), Maia Junior, it is not just a project, but a dream becoming a reality not only for Santa Quitéria but for Ceará and Brazil.

“The project is a priority for the Federal Government, with several actions taken to ensure this project moves from a memorandum to reality,” stated Executive Secretary Lillian Mascarenhas.

The processes will first result in the dissociation of minerals and will generate the final production of a shipment of 50,000 processed yellow cake trucks, to boost the regional economy in various ways, including utilizing not only highways but also the ports of Pecém and Mucuripe.

Also present at the event were Ricardo Cavalcante, President of Fiec, the Mayor of Santa Quitéria, Tomás Figueirêdo, and the President of INB, Carlos Freire Moreira. For the President of INB, “our economic recovery will greatly depend on ventures that generate jobs and add value, like this one we are going to install in Ceará, which is why we believe in this partnership with Santa Quitéria and the Government of Ceará.”
