Lisbon and Setúbal ports have signed a mutual aid protocol with the port of Santos, Brazil, aiming to promote port innovation and technical and scientific exchange, particularly in areas like decarbonization and digitalization. The agreement, valid for two years, was sealed at the 2024 Intermodal South America event in São Paulo, Brazil. The port of Lisbon is Portugal’s leader in agribusiness, with Brazil being one of the key origin markets for agriculture goods shipped in bulk to Lisbon Port, which handled 4.79 million tonnes of solid bulk goods in 2023, of which 3.8 million tonnes corresponded to food items (79%). In this line, the Brazilian market accounted for 1.082 million tonnes, equivalent to 28% of food in bulk and 23% of the total solid bulk handled in 2023.
