The Brazilian subsidiary of the American company BrandtBrandt, a company that produces agricultural inputs and biopesticides, announced it will invest R$ 110 million in the construction of two factories in the municipality of Cambé (PR). Of this amount, approximately R$ 65 million will be invested in a seed treatment unit, which will manufacture a portfolio of products launched two harvests ago in the United States, and the remainder will go to a biologicals plant, which can be exported to countries in South America and Europe, in addition to being sold domestically. The new plants, currently under construction, are located in the industrial complex where Brandt already has a factory for specialty fertilizers, pesticides, and biologicals. According to the company's CEO in Brazil, Wladimir Chaga, with these new investments, the company is well-positioned in a sector where the country is a world leader. In 2023, Brandt had already announced that it would invest R$ 130 million in building factories in the country, but postponed the plans due to credit restrictions, the drop in agricultural commodities, and the repercussions of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
