ETG announced this Thursday (2) the construction of a fertilizer industrial unit in the VLI logistics complex, in Palmeirante (TO), connected to the North-South Railway. Construction is scheduled to begin in August of this year, with operations estimated to start in February 2027. The project will receive investments of approximately R$ 26 million and will have the capacity to produce up to 200,000 tons of fertilizers per year.
