Agropecuária Majuara is located in a region known as Campos Gerais/Paraná State (PR), area with the highest average agricultural productivity in the country.

Favored by the excellent climate of the Campos Gerais region, Majuara agriculture sows and harvests soybeans, corn, wheat, beans, oats, rye and millet, in the municipalities of Ventania and Curiúva, which, along with Tibagi and 16 other cities spread throughout Campos Gerais/PR, represents the highest grain yield per hectare in the country. After being harvested, the beans are sold to large industries or stored in five silos with their own dryer, located on the banks of the Transbrasiliana Highway, just over 300 km from the port of Paranaguá.

The Campos Gerais region, where Agropecuária Majuara is located, is the birthplace of direct sowing, considered one of the most revolutionary agricultural methods in the country. Agricultural cooperatives also originated here. In Ventania/PR, the climatic conditions and the type of soil allow positive figures and the recognition of the region as one of the most productive for agriculture in the State of Paraná.

History - A trip full of challenges, overcoming hurdles and many achievements.

Majuara's story is directly related to the trip of its founder, Jurandir Proença Lopes, who, since he was 12, had already worked with his father, Eliziário Lopes de Proença, then owner of the ELPA company. Between 1945 and 1960, ELPA supplied native wood to Klabin/PR, for the manufacture of cellulose and maintained rural properties to raise pigs and oxen, in addition to a large warehouse that supplied food for employees of Klabin and Companhia Sguario Madeiras, as well as to the ploughman, as they were called at that time.

In 1971, Jurandir P. Lopes emigrated to Itapetininga/SP, in search of new horizons, beginning to work, initially, as a pawn with his older brother, Dídimo Lopes de Proença who, at that time, was a contractor in Indusflora, supplying wood for the manufacture of sheets to ALPLAN, companies belonging to the Peixoto de Castro Group. The work on the lower steps was short-lived: as soon as he was 18, he would become the company's Manager, beginning to lead 170 employees.

In 1975, at the age of 21, he married María de Fátima Rosa Lopes, with whom he lives today, and has 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren.

At 25, he created a contractor and worked for many years as a forest services provider for Indusflora, Alplan, Duratex, Suzano, Votorantim, Ripasa, Eucatex and IPT (Technological Research Institute of the State of São Paulo). 

He later turned the contractor into a trade of wood and resin rubbers, establishing a timber industry, called Tibagi, in partnership with his older brother, Odilon Lopes de Proença. In this new business, he started selling sawn timber for all of Brazil, in addition to raw eucalyptus pine wood for the states of São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina. 

The experience and knowledge forged in the wood industry soon allowed him to undertake in the pinus elliottii resin sector.

In 1984, when I was 30, Agropecuária Majuara started, with diversified businesses in agriculture and livestock. Therefore, the two activities began to develop in parallel paths: extraction and trade of resin rubber and agricultural activity.

In 1993, he established productive partnerships with the main players in the resin rubber sector: Resitec/Resiflor, along with the engineers Oswaldo de Souza Lima, Bernardo Melo, as well as their owners, Dr. Shigeaki Ueki and Dr Rodolfo Rohr; with Duratex; Cia Suzano of Paper and Cellulose; Pinus Plan (Floresta do Lobo), Rio Rancho, Ripak, Seape, Binoto; Caraça; Satipel; Caxuana; Indusflora and Valpanema.

Jurandir Proença Lopes was a pioneer in the extraction of tropical pine resin rubber in the state of Minas Gerais, through partnerships with large companies in the sector and through their own businesses. In the resin activity, he was responsible for establishing the largest resin company in the country, based in Itapetininga/SP.

In this new sector, he expanded his business and specialized through new extraction and storage techniques to supply the pitch and turpentine processing industries. In 1993, he joined the RB/Resinas Brasil Group, a Portuguese multinational, the largest company in the sector, together with Dr. Anibal Santos and later, Dr. José Pinto da Rocha Jorge Ferreira, in an association aimed at chewing gum extraction. Resin in the industry RT/Resinas Tropicais, located in Uberlândia/MG; and in ITACOL, located in Itapetininga/SP. The society and the fruitful associations lasted until 2019.

Between 1998 and 2000, Jurandir Proença Lopes was president of ARESB (Resiners Association of Brazil). In addition, he was director of ABCC (Brazilian Association of Breeders of Caracu Cattle) for many years.

They are almost 55 years of rural work dedicated to agribusiness, with many challenges, sectorial victories and learning, facts that make this entrepreneur a deep knowledge of agribusiness in our country.

"We are proud to arrive here without past imperfections." J.P. Lopes.
