The agreement between the European Union and Mercosur has the potential to double or even triple Brazilian exports to the European bloc over the next five years, encouraging the growth of ports such as Itapoá (SC) and Suape (PE). In 2025, the EU accounted for 14.3% of Brazil’s exports, and economists anticipate considerable growth with tariff cuts and more access to the European market. Itapoá is planned to double transportation to the EU, while Suape, which is awaiting an export license, plans to quintuple volumes with new ports and logistical improvements. Paranaguá may also benefit, but without specific forecasts.
