Governor Gladson Camelí fulfilled his agenda this Thursday, 15th, when he visited the construction of the new headquarters of the Companhia de Armazéns Gerais e Entrepostos do Acre (Cageacre), in Bosque, in Rio Branco. The revitalization was only possible thanks to a parliamentary amendment presented by then senator Mailza Assis, which guaranteed resources for renovation and transformation of the site.
The value of the investment exceeds R$2.5 million and the delivery of the site is scheduled to take place in March. The president of Cageacre, Pádua Cunha, highlighted that the building that currently houses the institution’s new headquarters was once Cageacre’s Warehouse 01.
According to the president, the space was abandoned and served as a deposit for unusable materials from various departments.
In addition to serving as Cageacre’s headquarters, the space will have an area called Agrocultural Space, intended for family farming activities and cultural events, such as community festivals and festivals.
“This space will be allocated to Unisol, the Union of Associations of Family Farming Producers, and also to the Elias Mansour Foundation, to hold community festivals, festivals and various activities focused on both agriculture and culture”, pointed out the president.
Cunha also highlighted the importance of Cageacre’s warehouse network for strengthening agricultural production in the state. Currently, there are 11 units distributed in municipalities such as Tarauacá, Feijó, Manoel Urbano and Cruzeiro do Sul, which mainly serve small and medium-sized producers.
“The warehouses receive and process grains such as corn and rice, as well as products from family farming and indigenous communities. We are prepared to support both local production and the storage of products that arrive from abroad”, stated the president.
Strengthen what helps to develop
The governor of Acre, Gladson Camelí, says that Cageacre has been fundamental as a development agent in the state, working in partnership with the State Secretariat of Agriculture (Seagri), the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa).
Data from the Systematic Survey of Agricultural Production (LSPA), released this Thursday by IBGE, show that in December 186,972 tons were produced on 62,804 hectares of planted land across the state and this crop has seen significant growth in recent years.
“The expansion of agriculture in Acre requires not only encouraging production, but also investing in infrastructure and public spaces that strengthen this work. The revitalization of buildings like this, which is now the headquarters of Cageacre, is an example of how we can give new meaning to areas that were previously abandoned and put them at the service of the community and producers. With this union of efforts, we guarantee that small and medium producers have access to storage, processing and technical support, strengthening family farming and boosting the sustainable growth of our state.”
Works continue across the state
The Secretary of State for Works, Ítalo Lopes, highlighted the importance of the new structure to strengthen family farming and offer better working conditions to Cageacre employees. According to him, the work is the result of an amendment recommended by the vice-governor, even when she was serving as senator, and symbolizes the government’s effort to expand investments in the sector.
“This is a work that will benefit both Cageacre employees and producers in our state. In 2025 we broke a record in the execution of amendments, and this means more works like this being delivered to the population. The governor has been closely monitoring the management in Brasília to guarantee the release of resources, and everyone is aligned so that important deliveries like this can happen”, he stated.
The space will have a new roof, air conditioning, partitions, sewage system and water supply, offering adequate infrastructure for the institution to operate.
The secretary added that the Department of Works has more than ten deliveries scheduled by March, including the first stage of the Road Complex and the Via Ceará Viaduct, in addition to the maternity ward, works in Acrelândia, Feijó and Cruzeiro do Sul. “The entire state is being covered at this important moment, which follows the governor’s determination: to make 2026 the Year of Execution”, he concluded.
