Rumo, Cosan Group’s logistics company, plans to open two new terminals in the Malha Central besides beginning container operations, says Ricardo Lewin, the group’s investor relations director. In the second quarter of 2022, the plan is to open a sugar terminal on the North-South railroad and, in the third quarter, a fertilizer terminal. Container operations are expected to start in the second half of the year. After the corn crop failure this year, Rumo projects better numbers in 2022, both for the soybean and corn crop, according to Lewin in a conference call with analysts. For soybeans, the expectation is a record harvest, with an increase of 9 million tons compared to 2021. Of this volume, 80% will be exported, 4 million tons more than in 2021. Mato Grosso should register an increase of 1 million in exports. As for the corn market in 2022, the expectation is also a record harvest of 119 million tons, with an increase of 17 million.
