en.Wedoany.com Reported - JAV Indústria de Alimentos, a subsidiary of the Maratá Group responsible for leasing the Ilhéus Port area, is advancing the restoration and modernization of the Ilhéus Flour Mill (Moinho de Ilhéus), aiming to restart this industrial facility that has been idle for over 17 years. In addition to repairing the existing complex, the project will also include expansion to meet future production demands.

Antonio Gobbo, President of the Bahia State Port Company (Codeba), stated during a site inspection of the project's progress that, besides restoring original operational capacity, the flour mill will install six new silos to expand storage and cargo handling capabilities. Gobbo noted that the return of this facility will boost logistics, productivity, and economic development in southern Bahia, while strengthening the region's output transport capacity.

Current work includes repairs to silos, facades, metal structures, and floor slabs, as well as restoration of the building's roof. According to engineers, heavy rainfall in recent months has somewhat impacted outdoor work progress. As structural repairs advance, equipment to be integrated into the wheat milling system has begun arriving at the Port of Ilhéus, marking a new phase of the project and signaling the upcoming industrial installation stage.

The project, with an estimated investment of 120 million reais, will strengthen the strategic role of the Port of Ilhéus in attracting new business and expanding industrial activity in southern Bahia. The reopening of the flour mill is expected to enhance the region's logistics competitiveness and contribute to job creation, income growth, and economic development.
