Brazil’s agribusiness associations seek assurances for port logistics to be maintained
Mar, 19, 2020 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202013
On Wednesday March 18, a letter signed by almost 50 entities representing agribusiness chains was presented to Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro, and to the Infrastructure Minister, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, requesting a guarantee that national port logistics be maintained in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. In the document, the associations requested special attention for the Port of Santos, “in the face of the threat of paralysis by the Stevedores Unions of Santos, São Vicente, Cubatão and Guarujá”, the letter states. A representative from the Infrastructure Ministry was not available to comment on whether the minister received the letter or what other measures had been taken.
