The implementation work is expected to begin at the end of the first half of 2023. According to Uberaba’s Secretary of Economic Development, Tourism, and Innovation, Rui Ramos, the installation of the unit is crucial for the city and the entire region, which is known for its grain production. “Agribusiness is a major industry in the region. “We plant a variety of crops, including sugarcane, sorghum, soy, corn, and other products,” he said.
