Exports through the eastern corridor of Brazil’s second busiest port totaled 11.1 MMT in the first half as the highest volume for a single semester since the port’s establishment 50-years ago, according to Paranagua port authorities.
Officials at the publicly owned port cited a significant increase in grain shipments across the board, but highlighted soybeans, noting volume exports increased 22.4% after Brazil harvested a record crop in 2023.
Soy exports represented 6.5 MMT of the total shipped via Paranagua, or almost 60%, stated authorities. Soymeal shipments totaled nearly 24% of total shipments, while corn represented around 17% or 1.9 MMT.
