Economic development and job creation

The new ethanol plant will also contribute to the development of the city's economy, with job creation, increase in collection in the municipality and will also contribute to the financial boost in regional trade. By the end of the construction of the ethanol plant, 170 direct and 700 indirect jobs will be generated.

In order to achieve this goal, Raízen entered into a partnership with the Economic Development Department of Barra Bonita for courses at SENAI and SENAC, aimed at technical training for the jobs that will be offered.
