Moreover, the companies expect that the new factory will generate 90 direct job vacancies and another 300 indirect jobs, strengthening the local job market.
Suzano Bets on Sustainable Growth with New Fertilizer Factory
After the installation of the new plant, Adufértil will begin using the Portocel terminal, shared by Suzano and Cenibra, for importing and handling fertilizers in Brazil.
Portocel will be the central point for the movement of 120,000 to 180,000 tons/year of fertilizers, with potential for expansion in the coming years.
This operation will expand the port area, increasing the storage and handling of cargo. In this way, the company will be able to ensure even more job opportunities in the region.
Alexandre Billot Mori, executive operations manager of Portocel, emphasizes that the initiative reinforces the terminal’s position as a central point in the logistics landscape of Espírito Santo, contributing to local development.
The expectation is that the region of Aracruz will become a relevant logistics hub in Brazil in the coming years.
Furthermore, Suzano sees the new factory as an important move towards sustainable growth.
The company, which plants 1.2 million trees daily in various operations in Brazil, aims to reduce the radius of fertilizer supply through this project.
Viviane Danemberg Gomes Lichtenstein, executive supply manager of Suzano, concluded by stating that in addition to strengthening the local economy, the project will contribute to cleaner environmental practices, reducing emissions.
