Brazil’s port system is experiencing a historic milestone. In the first months of 2025, cargo handling recorded robust growth, consolidating the country’s position as one of Latin America’s key logistics players. This increase has been driven by agribusiness, particularly soy, corn, and meat, as well as mineral exports and the diversification of industrial segments.

The strong performance is not limited to the Port of Santos, which continues to lead in cargo volume. Other ports, such as Itaqui, Paranaguá, and Itapoá, have also shown remarkable results, expanding Brazil’s logistics coverage and balancing dependence across different hubs.

Another highlight is the role of private terminals, which continue to invest in infrastructure, technology, and operational efficiency. These efforts have helped make the sector more competitive on the global stage.

Alongside this growth, challenges remain. Rising demand increases the urgency for dredging projects, modernization of land access, and the digitalization of processes. In addition, issues such as sustainability and emissions reduction are moving to the forefront of discussions, in line with international trade requirements.

With results pointing to one of the strongest periods in recent history, 2025 represents a unique opportunity. For companies that rely on global trade, now is the time to count on strategic partners to turn this growth into a competitive advantage.
