Rice shipped in 1,720 containers at Tecon Imbituba
Sep, 03, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202036
In August, 44,000 tons of rice were shipped at Tecon Imbituba. The volume was stored in 1,720 containers which were loaded onboard coastal-shipping vessels that call weekly at the terminal.
Roughly 40% of all rice produced in the state of Santa Catarina passes through Tecon Imbituba. The terminal is strategically located inland of one of the main grain-producing areas in the country, and thus becomes a competitive alternative for the product flow.
Brazil is the largest producer and consumer of rice outside of Asia; production of the grain is mostly concentrated in the South, amounting to 11 million tons per year.
