According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the downturns in the production of mining and quarrying made the industry of Pará fall by 30.3% in April 2019, compared to March 2019. It was the biggest drop since the beginning of the historical series, and the third consecutive decline, accumulating losses of 38.8% in the period. Considering the first four months of the year, state production fell by 7.8%.
The main reasons for this decline were the risks of breaking down mining dams, such as occurred this year in Brumadinho (Minas Gerais), contamination of indigenous reserves and excessive rainfall. This contributed much to the fall in extractive production.
In addition to Pará, the states of Espírito Santo (-5.5%), Rio de Janeiro (-4.5%), Goiás (-1.4%) and Amazonas (-1.2% %). The survey also showed that 10 of the 15 sites increased production in April, with Pernambuco (8.3%), Bahia (7.4%), Northeast Region (6.1%) and Mato Grosso (5.1% ), which reversed the negative behavior of March.
São Paulo, the country's main industrial park, was up 2.4%, the most intense since June 2018, influenced by the vehicle sector.
