Caramuru Alimentos confirmed the signing of a 25-year lease agreement for the MCP02 area, comprising 3,180 m² at the Port of Santana in Amapá. The Port of Santana mainly handles Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC) destined for the European market, especially Norway, to use as salmon feed. The Caramuru terminal makes it possible to replace a 100% road modal (from Sorriso/MT to Santos/SP, totalling 2,100km) with a road road-water modal (Sorriso to Itaituba/PA, in a 1,100 km road stretch, and from Itaituba to Santana/AP, in an 850km water-bound stretch), in addition to minimizing environmental impacts and reducing logistical costs and increasing competitiveness. Nearly R$ 53.9 million in investments in two yearly instalments are foreseen, leading to the modernization of the port structure, generation of jobs and increased foreign exchange participation.
