The president of Potássio do Brasil also highlighted that, in addition to the relevance of the mining project for the generation of jobs in the region, the company intends to boost the segment of potassium chloride commercialization in Brazil.

In this way, no forest region will suffer from further destruction so that the company can explore the resource in the region.
In addition, Potássio do Brasil's mining project seeks to encourage sustainability and has more than 30 socioeconomic and environmental projects, based on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in implantation and under development.
