Cooperativa Piá's decision was made after facing an intense financial crisis in recent years, which resulted in the company becoming indebted. The company recorded a loss of R$60 million in 2022, of which only R$20 million was paid to the banks.
Initially, the company denied information about the closure of the branch in Taquara, but later confirmed that it will move to another city. So far, however, no further information about this displacement has been released.
The closure of the food factory in Taquara will have a major impact on the region, not only through the loss of jobs, but also due to the interruption of the activities of a company that had been operating in food production for more than four decades.
Cooperativa Piá's decision to close its activities in the city of Taquara reflects the delicate economic situation that many companies have faced in recent years. It is important that steps are taken to minimize the impact of these decisions, both on workers and affected communities.
In addition, a joint effort is needed to create a more favorable economic environment for the development of companies and society as a whole.
