After 20 years, the Port of Ilhéus in Bahia will resume eucalyptus exports. The wood comes from Minas Gerais and will be shipped to destinations such as Portugal and China.  In total, 50,000 tons of the wood are to be exported, which arrived at the port in May for prior storage.

This was only possible because the Bahia State Docks Company (Codeba) implemented a scheme to exempt general cargo from storage charges for 60 days at port facilities. In addition to eucalyptus, 30,000 tons of manganese extracted in the State of Bahia will also be shipped via Ilhéus. The operation was resumed, according to Codeba, after a decade.
