More Than 150 Producers Will Benefit from the Investment

About 150 producers will benefit from the solar power plant project. According to João Marcos, Iúna is currently the municipality that produces the most arabica coffee in ES and the 9th largest producer of arabica coffee in Brazil, according to data from the IBGE from last year.

This project will help farmers take care of the environment, allowing energy savings and also reducing production costs. João states that the secretary is very happy to be able to begin this phase of project funding.

Mayor Romário also commented, stating that the Secretary of Agriculture is working to provide renewal pathways for its farmers. Everyone is going through times where renewal is necessary, thus, projects like this, which generate significant returns, are essential for society.
