Other important crops include wheat, corn (maize), feijão (beans), rice, and sugarcane. Estadual de Maringá University is located there, as is a sizable football (soccer) stadium. The city is accessible by air, road, and rail from Curitiba, the state capital, and from São Paulo. The larger regional centre of Londrina lies to the east of Maringá. Pop. (2010) 357,077.
