A new wave of grain shipments is making its way to the Port of Santos. The latter half of the year is set to see a focus on corn, with most shipments in September, as well as sugar and soy, which have been flowing in high volumes for months. The first half of this year saw a record-breaking cargo throughput at the port, totaling 81 million tonnes. During the same period, the soy complex (grains and meal) witnessed a 10.4% increase compared to the previous year, reaching 29 million tonnes. Sugar followed suit with 8.1 million tonnes, marking a 4.8% growth from 2022. Efforts to alleviate traffic congestion include ongoing road construction near grain terminals, aiming to facilitate the passage of trucks carrying cargo not transported by rail
