Port of Santana Grain Exports Jump 34% in 2025

Grain exports through the Port of Santana rose sharply in 2025, climbing 34.1% compared with 2024, according to operational data from the Santana Dock Company (CDSA). Total shipments reached 1,174,774 tonnes, making the year one of the most significant on record for the port.

The increase was driven mainly by soybeans and corn, which together surpassed the 1 million-tonne mark for the first time. The result underscores the strategic role of the Port of Santana, which has kept pace with the expansion of the Northern Arc port system and has consolidated its position as one of the main logistics corridors for moving Brazil’s agricultural output.

Soybeans posted the strongest growth, up 61.8% year on year to 568,199 tonnes, while corn shipments rose 22.7% to 473,922 tonnes.

According to CDSA, the figures reflect a combination of improved operational efficiency, strong external demand and the consolidation of logistics infrastructure, factors that contributed to the record performance in 2025. Edival Tork, the company’s president, said the positive results are the outcome of planning and investments already under way.

“In recent years, investments — especially in port infrastructure improvements — have become a constant, combined with the planning and organization that guide CDSA’s operations. This has increased customer confidence, with more clients choosing the port to handle their cargo,” he said.
