PARANAGUÁ PORT STARTS TO RECEIVE NEW SOYBEAN CROP FOR EXPORT

Gradually, the 20/21 soybean crop is arriving at the Port of Paranaguá. The movement of trucks that unload the product at the terminals in Paraná has intensified and should reach 2,000 vehicles per day, starting in the first week of March. The expectation is that about 2 million tons will be received in March. “There was a certain delay due to the climatic conditions during planting and crop development. The months of January and February typically show less movement, so it is good time to do maintenance works on the flow structure”, says the CEO of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia. To the east of the pier at the Port of Paranaguá, the soy is drained through the Corex (the export corridor). In recent months, the complex has undergone maintenance. In partnership with the operators, the necessary adjustments and improvements were made to meet the demand that is about to intensify. On the west side of the port, a new integrated terminal will add even more strength to the bulk flow. Private investment came in after the state government expanded berth 201.
