Between 80% and 85% of the terminal’s operations involve handling of export products, such as bananas, pineapples, coffee, tubers and melons.

Figures recently published by São Paulo-based Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (Anfavea) reveal that, in January 2018, exports of vehicles from Brazil rose by almost 24% to over 47,000 units. This followed a 48% rise in 2017, when 766,013 vehicles were exported.
