The month of January hasn’t even come to an end, and the volume of corn exports through the Port of Paranagua this year is already impressive. Up to the 29th, 569,461 tonnes of the grain were shipped, a volume almost 161% greater than the 218,358 tonnes exported a year ago. “We are noticing from the large volumes reported in shipments here at the Port of Paranaguá that this trend has been intensifying since last year,” says Luiz Fernando Garcia, director-president of Portos do Paraná. In December 2022, 580,147 tonnes of corn were shipped. Compared to the 97,124 tonnes exported in the same month of 2021, the volume is 947% higher. “Also, the line-up of ships that will arrive to carry corn here at Paraná shows that this trend will continue until at least the next month,” says Garcia.
