The Paraná-based ports of Paranagua and Antonina either exported or imported, in April, 4,952,059 tonnes of cargo. The volume is 7% higher than the 4,614,088 tonnes handled in April 2022. In the four-month period, the total volume exceeds 19 million tonnes, 2% more than the 18.7 million recorded from January to April last year. Exports exceeded imports in volume and percentage last month and in the first four months of the year. More than 62% of all cargo that passes through the ports of Paraná are shipments that leave the state destined for overseas. “The five main destinations of the cargo that left the ports in Paraná in this period were China, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, and India,” says Gabriel Vieira, Operations Director at port authority Portos do Paraná. He also underscored that the most exported products in the year were part of the soy complex (beans, oil, and meal), sugar, and chicken.
