Study about Libyan investment in Bahia to be ready in ninety days
The Libyan government is interested in an irrigation project in Baixio do Irecê, in the São Francisco River Valley, in northeastern Brazil, and has signed an agreement with construction company Norberto Odebrecht to check the possibility of the business. The project involves the construction of 100 kilometres of channels and may result in the generation of 180,000 jobs. There is potential for the sowing of sugarcane, bananas for export, tropical fruit and grapes.
