“Soja de Portugal is proud to create employment opportunities in various parts of the country, while contributing to the growth of communities that are far from the big metropolis. In this way, we allow the population to settle in these municipalities. This has enabled us to grow sustainably with the local community in S. Pedro do Sul, where we have been present for more than 40 years through AVICASAL, not only because of the economic and social responsibility we have, but also because it is the county where directly and indirectly, the group generates more employment, “said António Isidoro.
