The 33 assets include three leading companies in the textile sector.

2742 jobs were also created, according to IGAPE administrator Akuiles Neto.

According to Patrício Vilar, the five farms in competition were awarded, three of which through an extraordinary auction. The process of divesting the state stake in three breweries - Cuca, Ngola and Eka - has also ended, whose capital was acquired by the companies themselves.

The process of the second phase of the Exclusive Economic Zone was also concluded, with all companies being put out to tender, as well as agricultural companies.

In the case of agro-industrial companies, not all assets were awarded, with silos being left out, which will now be the target of concession processes.

"We are already in the second contest and the silos that are spread throughout the country have not been awarded", he added, stating that the objective is to advance now to concessions "in which candidates are already outlined".

If the competitions are deserted, those may be included in the strategic food reserve, managed by the Ministry of Agriculture.
