The logistics operator VLI handled 12.5 million tonnes of grains and sugar in the first half of 2020, up 14% compared to the same period in 2019. According to the company, whose operation integrates terminals, railways, and ports, the volume of soybeans, corn, and soy meal handled in the period surpassed the mark of 10 million tonnes, while sugar transport was close to 2 million tonnes.

VLI pointed out that the Terminal Integrador Portuário Luiz Antonio Mesquita (Tiplam), in Baixada Santista, saw an increase of 25% in the movement of grains and sugar in the first half, reaching 3.8 million tonnes according to the logistics operator. “The terminal is already responsible for about a third of the sugar exported by Santos and the expectation in the medium and long term is to increase the volume due to the new warehouses built in partnership with Tereos ”, said VLI.
