In the upcoming three months, the expected volume of bulk cargo shipped through the Port of Paranaguá is 9,428,300 tonnes. Therefore, terminals and operators with a stake in this segment have high expectations for the third quarter, fueled by the arrival of a new corn crop. The shipment forecast encompasses soy, corn, sugar, and meal. The estimates for July, August, and September represent an increase of approximately 32.5% compared to the 7,117,509 tonnes seen during the same period in 2022. One factor that fed increased productivity in the shipment of solid bulk exports has been the dredging of berths. Segment-wise, out of the 9,428,300 tonnes projected for the next quarter, soybeans are expected to account for 4,006,000 tonnes, sugar for 1,920,000 tonnes, corn for 1,904,000 tonnes, and soymeal for 1,598,300 tonnes.
