The Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (Conab) has officially opened registrations for a public contest aimed at filling 403 vacancies across Brazil, starting today, April 14, 2025. This initiative offers a significant opportunity for job seekers, particularly as the initial salaries for the positions range from R$ 3,459.87 for average level roles to R$ 8,140.88 for higher level positions. The application process, organized by the Instituto Consulpam, will remain open until May 15, 2025, allowing candidates ample time to prepare and apply.
The public contest is not just a standard recruitment drive; it aims to replenish and strengthen Conab’s workforce, ensuring the efficiency of operations related to food supply and nutritional security in Brazil. The positions available include roles for Assistants, which require a high school diploma or technical training in fields such as information technology, accounting, and agricultural technology. Additionally, there are Analyst positions available for candidates with higher education in various disciplines.
Among the accepted degrees for the Analyst positions are administration, accounting, architecture, several engineering fields (including civil, electrical, mechanical, agricultural, and agronomic), nutrition, psychology, economics, agribusiness management, archiving, law, statistics, journalism, marketing, literature, pedagogy, and information technology. This broad range of qualifications reflects Conab's commitment to diversifying its workforce and enhancing its operational capabilities.
As reported, the contest will feature both objective and discursive tests, scheduled for July 13, 2025, with testing locations across all Brazilian capitals. The registration fees are set at R$ 50 for average level positions and R$ 80 for higher level roles, making it accessible for many candidates eager to join the public sector.
In Paraíba, where nine of the vacancies are located, the distribution includes one position for Administrative Assistant and several Analyst roles: three for Administration, one for Accounting Sciences, one for Economics, and three for Agronomic Engineering. The base salary for the Assistant position is R$ 3,459.87, while the Analyst role offers a more lucrative salary of R$ 8,140.88.
The selection process is designed to be rigorous, with the objective tests assessing candidates' general knowledge and specific skills related to the positions.

For those interested in applying, it is crucial to note that the payment for the registration fee must be completed by May 16, 2025, reflecting a recent rectification in the contest's regulations.
