The Ministry of Ports and Airports announced that the Brazilian port sector will receive BRL 19.7 billion in investments in 2025, with BRL 1.7 billion from public funds and BRL 18 billion from private resources. Public investment has increased significantly compared to prior years, while private investment has nearly doubled from 2024. The main projects include the implementation and upgrading of cargo terminals in North Region ports such as Porto Velho (RO) and Santarém (PA), as well as the extension of infrastructure at the Port of Paranaguá (PR), which will involve upgrades to rail and road access, dredging, and lighting. Until November 2024, Brazilian ports primarily carried soybeans (120 million tons), corn (50 million tons), and fertilizers (40 million tons), with the Port of Santos handling more than 40 million tons.
