While the announcement of the inauguration of Amazon's new Distribution Center is awaited, the Secretary of Economic Development of the Government of Ceará, Maia Júnior, reveals that he is already negotiating with other companies the installation of new centres.

"One of the secretariats focuses on commercial activities and strengthening and creating jobs in wholesale and retail, for this we regulate e-commerce together with Sefaz, and we are seeking to bring distribution centres to Ceará", he explains. According to the administration, Magazine Luiza, which already has a distribution centre, will have an even greater area. Negotiations are still taking place with Mercado Livre, Lojas Americanas and the Ceará company Zenir.
