The Port of Recife had a successful year in 2023, with a 27% growth in imports and exports until December 20th. From January 1st to December 20th, the total volume of goods transported was 1,374.34 tons. The movement of wheat, steel coil, and sugar contributed considerably to this rise, particularly the increase in demerara and refined sugar exports to fulfill American and European quota needs.
