The Lactalis Group, world leader in the dairy market, confirmed a new investment of R$ 250 million in Minas Gerais, reinforcing its commitment to the economic development and productive chain of the state.

Governor Romeu Zema highlighted the importance of this investment in dairy for the local economy, emphasizing how Lactalis’ expansion will contribute to the development of the milk production chain. With this new scale, private investments attracted in Minas Gerais since 2019 approach the mark of R$ 1 trillion.

Minas has already established itself as a national leader in milk production, and this expansion will allow for the modernization of the factories and strengthening of the partnership between Lactalis and local producers. According to the Secretary of Economic Development, Fernando Passalio, the state has adopted a personalized approach to attract and finalize private investments.
