The article highlights a resurgence in Brazil's sugar container exports for the 2022/23 harvest, following a 22% decline in June 2022 due to increased maritime freight costs. This revival is attributed to the return of sea freight costs to pre-pandemic levels. Brado, a multimodal logistics company, has seen an increase in quotation requests and produced 6.7 thousand tons of sugar since resuming operations. The company transports sugar from plants to the Cambé Terminal in Paraná, where it is loaded into containers and shipped mainly to Asia and Africa. Brado also offers a CO2 emissions calculator and storage in transit, ensuring a sustainable and efficient operation.
