During Industry Week, representatives of the national chemical industry chain highlighted the importance of public policies aimed at recovering Brazilian industrial competitiveness.
The president of the Chemical Workers' Union, Herbert Passos Filho, representing the chemical industry, highlighted recent advances in federal legislation and advocated for new measures to increase the sector's competitiveness and preserve jobs.
The sector, considered the foundation for various economic activities, has been facing challenges related to production costs, tax burden, and international competition.
According to union and business leaders present at the event, recent changes in federal legislation have already begun to generate positive impacts for the chemical industry. However, further action is still considered essential to ensure sustainable growth and job preservation.
Among the main demands are improvements in natural gas pricing policy, reduction of operating costs, and expansion of incentives aimed at domestic production.
The expectation is that joint mobilization among businesspeople, workers, and governments will help strengthen a segment considered essential for Brazilian economic development.
