Valagro constructing new plant in Brazil

The Valagro Group has announced it has started the construction of its new plant in Pirassununga, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

 

The project, announced in 2014 and with an investment of 10 million Euro, includes the construction of a plant with two production lines for the processing and packaging of water-soluble solid fertilizers and bio-stimulants. The plant will have an area of ​​about 60,000 square metres and will guarantee a production of about 8,000 tonnes per year.

 

The transition to the project's operational stage, which will conclude in January 2017 with the plant's opening, has been achieved after obtaining both national and regional environmental licenses, which certify compliance with local environmental safety and sustainability standards, in line with Valagro's values, based on full respect to human health and the environment.

Valagro will be able to respond more effectively to the needs of the Brazilian market, where it is already active with its own branch since 1998, with special attention to some of its major customers in this area, such as Coopercitrus .
