According to the IBGE, Itajaí has ​​the second largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the state, even ahead of the capital Florianópolis and only behind Joinville, the largest city in the state, in the north of Santa Catarina. And many companies are looking at this and choosing the state to establish their bases. The proximity to the port means that the cost of logistics is lower, apart from the more attractive prices in rent and labor, compared to the large capitals of the Southeast.
The city is also home to multinationals such as Brasil Foods, Azimut, Gomes da Costa, Pepsico, Weg, Klabin, Kowalski and many others. The Port of Itajaí is still the leader in the export of cold meats and is just behind the Port of Santos, in São Paulo, in the amount of goods transacted.
As is unfortunately common in Brazilian history, before the arrival of the Portuguese in the region, the place was occupied by the Carijós Indians, enslaved by the conquerors in favor of the sugar cane industry. The actual occupation of the region only took place from 1750 onwards, with the arrival of the Azorean and Madeirans who actually settled in the region. On August 12, 1833, the Parish of Itajaí was created, but the emancipation and foundation of the city would only take place on June 15, 1860. Since then, the city has received many European immigrants from distant regions of Portugal, such as Italy and Germany .
