VEJA COMO TUDO É DIFERENTE NO CEARÁ #977/20 Nois Pelo Mundo

Created in July 1603, the state of Ceará is one of the territories that make up the Northeast Region of Brazil, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the north; the state of Pernambuco to the south; the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba to the east; and the state of Piauí to the west. It boasts a 573-kilometer coastline and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Brazil, both for its beaches and its cuisine, featuring lobster, seafood, and baião de dois (rice and black-eyed peas). Ceará's territorial area is 148,825.602 km², equivalent to 9.57% of the Northeast Region and 1.74% of Brazil. According to a 2010 population census by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), it has a total population of 8,452,381 inhabitants distributed across 184 municipalities. It has a population density of approximately 56.7 inhabitants per km². Its capital is Fortaleza, and other major cities in the state are Caucaia, Juazeiro do Norte, Maracanaú, Sobral, Crato, Itapipoca, Maranguape, Iguatu, and Crateús. The terrain features plateaus, plains, and floodplains (east and west). The highest point is Serra Branca Peak, in the Olho d'Água mountain range, at 1,154 meters above sea level. Ceará's territory encompasses large expanses of mountain ranges and sertões. To the south of the state lies the Araripe National Forest, home to the world's largest concentration of fossils from the Cretaceous Period. Its territory comprises 58 conservation units, including 27 Environmental Protection Areas (APAs), 10 private natural heritage reserves, 9 ecological parks, 4 private ecological reserves, 3 ecological stations, 2 natural monuments, a national forest, a botanical garden, an ecological corridor, and an extractive reserve. The state of Ceará has a tropical climate, characterized by the presence of caatinga vegetation throughout most of its territory, as well as restinga vegetation and salt marshes along a narrow coastal strip. The main rivers are: Acaraú, Banabuiú, Jaguaribe, and Salgado. The Ceará flag is green and yellow, representing the forests and mineral wealth. The lighthouse is a reference to the city of Fortaleza, the raft represents the Ceará people, and the carnauba palm symbolizes plant extraction. The service sector is the main contributor to the state's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounting for 70.91% of the GDP. Next comes industry, which accounts for 23.07%, and finally, agriculture, with 6.02%. In recent years, more than 600 national and foreign companies have established themselves in the state, considerably strengthening Ceará's industrial sector. This is due to government incentives (land donations and tax exemptions) and the low-cost labor force. The main sectors are footwear, metalworking, steel, textiles, clothing, and electronics. Among the problems facing the population of Ceará, the main one is water scarcity; the state has historically suffered from droughts. Social inequality is another aggravating factor.
