Paraná regional economic development

Overview

The state of Paraná has demonstrated significant economic growth across its energy and agricultural sectors.

In the energy sector, the Maringá Energia II cogeneration plant in Jacarezinho was inaugurated following a R$120 million investment, doubling its capacity to 50 MWh. Concurrently, the state utility Copel reported a 42.6% year-on-year increase in recurring net profit for the second quarter, reaching R$645.1 million, driven by higher electricity sales and grid modernization investments.

The agricultural sector also reached record levels, with the Gross Agricultural Production Value (VBP) hitting R$213.06 billion in 2025, a 13% increase from 2024. This growth was supported by livestock production, which accounted for 53% of the total VBP, alongside significant soybean and corn yields.
