JEQUITINHONHA VALLEY
MUCURI VALLEY
Jequitinhonha Valley presents great opportunities in the
mineral extraction sector, explored by Cia. Nacional de
Grafite and Lithium through the Campanha Brasileira de
Lítio (CBL). Although lithium is already being used by CBL,
the existing mineral reserves in the area reveal potential for
better exploration.
The Jequitinhonha Valley has the highest concentration
of family farming nuclei in the state, with around 78,000
farmers, which is equivalent to 9% of the state's production.
Another important highlight is the investments made by
Sigma Mineração to extract lithium in the region. The sum
of investments by this company exceeds R$ 1.2 billion and
the forecast is that this project will generate more than 6
thousand jobs.
The territory of Mucuri occupies an area of 23.2 thousand km²,
with 27 municipalities and a population of 370 thousand
people. The Mucuri River is a component of the Doce, São
Mateus, Itanhém, Jequitinhonha, Peruípe, Itaúnas river basins
and reaches 60% of the municipalities in the region.
The Government of Minas started a development plan for
the North and Northeast of Minas Gerais, which foresees an
investment of R$ 1.43 billion and the generation of 143
thousand jobs. The main destination of this investment is
infrastructure works, such as paving roads and expanding the
energy distribution network.
