In October, the Port of São Francisco do Sul reached a historic milestone by exporting 1.1 million tonnes, with soybeans (583,000 tonnes) and corn (476,000 tonnes) being the main exports, primarily to China.

Port president Cleverton Vieira credited the achievement to efficient equipment maintenance and investments in the Export Corridor. The Tesc terminal played a significant role, exporting 332,000 tonnes of corn after infrastructure upgrades.
