Agricultural Fair Since July 10th, the Wildy Viana Exhibition Park continues to be prepared to host the fair. The first stage of work involved complete cleaning with the removal of rubble, maintenance of common areas and improvements to infrastructure. After cleaning is completed, the secretary also explained that the recovery of the space's infrastructure must begin. The initial organization work of the space was scheduled to be completed by this Wednesday afternoon (15). The expectation, according to the Secretary of State of the Civil House (Secc), Cristovam Pontes de Moura, is to receive more than 600 exhibitors during the fair, a higher number than the previous edition. The goal is also to exceed R$500 million in economic movement, an amount recorded at Expoacre 2025. "We know that it is a very big challenge, but we are working towards it, because Expoacre heats up various segments of the economy, from the services and commerce sector to industry and agribusiness", he highlighted. Still according to Cristovam, the schedule remains as planned and the stands are set up by exhibitors only in the last week before the official opening of the event. "I'm sure that at the opening of Expoacre and the cavalcade, we will see everything ready", he added. Review Acre’s news programs
