Jobs in the North
Currently, Grupo BBF stands out as one of the companies that employs the most people in the North of the country, with around 7,000 direct jobs and 21,000 indirect jobs. The company is present in Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia and Roraima.
The company plans to double its workforce in the Amazon region by 2026, the year in which it intends to start producing the unprecedented Green Diesel (HVO) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) biofuels in Brazil.
"Since 2019, we've had a big jump in the number of employees, increasing our staff by 18 times, from 345 in 2019 to more than 6,280 in 2023. We now expect to double the current number over the next few years," says Grupo BBF CEO Milton Steagall.
Currently, around 29.6 million people live in the Amazon region, according to the Brazilian Institute of Research and Statistics (IBGE). For Grupo BBF it is essential to create job and income opportunities for this population, as long as the forest remains standing.
"We will only have a fair country and talk about stopping deforestation when we can offer jobs to this population. We have 31 million hectares that can be recovered with the oil palm in the Amazon region and the palm cannot be mechanized, which keeps people in the countryside. This work is important because it is inclusive," says Steagall.
