Santa Fé Port exports 50,000 tons of broken corn since resuming operations in June

According to the government of the Argentine province of Santa Fé, since the start of the process of reactivating the capital’s port in June, 50,000 tons of broken corn have already been exported by the site.

“In the past five years, only one boat had left the port. Now, in less than a year, we’ve had about 20 shipments so far and we have many more planned. This is great news for producers in Santa Fé, ”said the president of Porto’s Administrator, Carlos Arese.

According to him, “we have found the right scale for ships that can enter our port, which is 100 meters long, adapted to the current situation of the river level.” Shipments of broken corn take place at the local agro-grain terminal plant. “We are excited about the near future. We are already receiving grains from the 2020-21 harvest and working so that they can be exported by water,” he said.

The reactivation process at the Port of Santa Fé began last April with the use of a deepening dredge in the access channel. Due to the extraordinarily low level recorded for the Paraná River, about 50,000 cubic meters of sediment were removed. After this stage, the first shipment left on June 16 to the port of the city of Montevideo, Uruguay.
