The handling of dry-cargo containers can be considered a thermometer of a country’s economy. Therefore, the DatamarNews team prepared a ranking of Brazil’s most exported and imported goods via dry-cargo container in this atypical year of 2020 (Jan to Nov 2020). The result is shown below:

Despite economic uncertainties, exports via dry-cargo containers grew 5.78% in the period from January to November 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Imports, however, fell 8.37% in the same comparison. It is worth noting that the high dollar favored exports and affected imports, as shown in the graph below:
