Copagril declared a R$200 million project to construct a grain‑processing complex in Maripá, Paraná. Planned for 2026‑2030, the complex will include storage for one million sacks of grain (about 60 000 tonnes) and feed mills capable of producing 15 000 tonnes of cattle feed and 10 000 tonnes of fish feed per month. The venture is expected to create roughly 120 direct jobs and strengthen the region’s agribusiness supply chain.
