Market Talks: Northern Arc ports boost share in corn exports this decade

Brazil is expected to produce 94.6mn metric tonnes (t) of corn in the 2024-25 second crop and export 34mn t, or around 36pc of the production. Northern Arc ports are strategic because of their proximity to important agricultural hubs and are important export route to markets in Europe and Africa. Itaqui and Barcarena ports account for more than half of Northern Arc's corn shipments.

Join Argus global agriculture editor Jade Delafraye and reporter Nathalia Giannetti as they discuss corn port differentials in the Barcarena, Itaqui, Santos and Tubarao ports.
