Viana do Castelo creates 500 jobs with the new NordicEPOD factory

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 17:10

The city of Viana do Castelo will receive a new NordicEPOD factory, which will create 500 jobs in the region. The project represents a significant investment for the district and comes as an added value for the local economy.

NordicEPOD is the company responsible for the industrial project that will be installed in Viana do Castelo. The factory will enable the hiring of hundreds of workers, contributing to the reduction of unemployment in the northern region of the country.

This investment comes in a context where Portugal has sought to attract international companies to create employment and boost industrial activity. Viana do Castelo, with its strategic coastal location and good accessibility, has been one of the preferred choices for several companies.

With the creation of these 500 jobs, a positive impact on the local community is expected, both in terms of direct employment and the trade and services associated with the new manufacturing facility.

Farmer reveals how much he receives for tomatoes that cost up to 3 euros in the supermarket: difference surprises

A Spanish farmer, Juan Carlos, revealed that he receives around one euro per kilo of tomatoes, while the same product costs between 2.50 and 3 euros on supermarket shelves. The price difference along the food chain has been one of the main complaints of the agricultural sector in Spain, which faces growing production costs, adverse weather conditions, and competition from imported products. Although there is a Food Chain Law in Spain aimed at preventing sales below production cost, farmers argue that greater control and more effective enforcement of the rules are needed to ensure a fairer distribution of value throughout the entire chain.
