This not only moves the economy, but also strengthens Brazilian agribusiness, which directly depends on the production of fertilizers and fuels to maintain its competitiveness in the global market.
And it doesn't stop there. The reactivation of Ansa and the investments in Repar are just part of a larger plan that aims to ensure that Brazil continues to be a powerhouse in agribusiness, with a modern and sustainable infrastructure. It's the type of news that encourages those who are betting on the country's future.
