In a year of record grain production and a concentrated soybean harvest driven by weather conditions, producers are struggling to transport their crops through the port of Porto Velho, the capital city of northern Rond\u00f4nia state. From there, the soybeans are shipped via the Madeira River to the port of Santar\u00e9m (Par\u00e1 state) for export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month alone, the queue of trucks waiting at support stations along the BR-364 highway to unload soybeans at transshipment stations has surpassed 1,100 vehicles. The daily loading capacity at Porto Velho\u2019s port is 10,000 tonnes, or approximately 200 trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no space to deposit their cargo at unloading stations, trucks are parking at the Mirian network support post in Candeias do Jamari, in Rond\u00f4nia. As of Monday (17), trucks were already lining up along the roadside because the parking lot at the support post was full, according to soybean producers in Rond\u00f4nia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe average wait time to unload is between four and six days. One or two days is expected for this period, but five days is excessive. It\u2019s a tough situation. Some producers are even losing grain in the fields because they can\u2019t store it in warehouses,\u201d said Marcelo Lucas da Silva, director of the Association of Soybean and Corn Producers of Rond\u00f4nia (Aprosoja RO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources connected to trading companies, who wished to remain anonymous, indicated that such long queues are common during the peak of the harvest season. Cargill and Amaggi are the primary grain traders shipping soybeans through Porto Velho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Supply Company (CONAB) estimates that Brazil\u2019s 2024\/25 soybean crop will reach a record 167.4 million tonnes, reflecting a 13.3% increase. In Rond\u00f4nia, CONAB projects a 7.1% increase to 2.4 million tonnes, while APROSOJA estimates a 12% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porto Velho\u2019s terminal handles not only Rond\u00f4nia\u2019s production but also shipments from northwestern and northern Mato Grosso. Mr. Silva claimed that Amaggi, which operates the private Portuchuelo terminal in Porto Velho, is prioritizing its own fleet of trucks, leaving independent producers in Rond\u00f4nia waiting longer. \u201cThere isn\u2019t a single queue; they prioritize their own trucks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Amaggi said that \u201cthe scheduling of truck arrivals from Mato Grosso and Rond\u00f4nia at its two Porto Velho port units follows a pre-established company plan.\u201d The company also said that it is adjusting its operations to accommodate greater grain volumes, which have risen due to delayed harvesting in Rond\u00f4nia caused by adverse weather conditions. Amaggi acknowledged that this may lead to \u201csome delays\u201d but emphasized that the situation \u201cshould not significantly impact grain exports through this corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rond\u00f4nia state legislator Ezequiel Neiva raised concerns in the Legislative Assembly, alleging that Hermasa\u2014Amaggi\u2019s subsidiary operating at Porto Velho\u2019s port\u2014has an annual capacity of 2.4 million tonnes but is only utilizing 30% of it. Mr. Neiva called for the Rond\u00f4nia Ports and Waterways Authority (SOPH) to appear before the legislature to address the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, APROSOJA Rond\u00f4nia sent a formal request to SOPH president Fernando Parente, urging the agency to open the port to more operators willing to invest and expand shipping capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Parente said that the state government plans to initiate a bidding process by Friday (21) to attract new companies to the port. \u201cWe have a 22,000-square-meter area that could accommodate new silos,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also mentioned that the anticipated concession of the Madeira River waterway this year should enhance regional waterborne transport. A public consultation on the project, coordinated by the National Waterway Transport Agency (ANTAQ), is scheduled for the 20th. Mr. Parente expects these developments to bolster port operations by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the short term, Mr. Parente anticipates that the backlog will ease with the arrival of a large Bertolini Transporte e Navega\u00e7\u00e3o convoy on Thursday, consisting of 20 barges set to transport 50,000 tonnes of soybeans to Santar\u00e9m\u2014equivalent to 1,000 trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mr. Parente, an average of 170 trucks arrive daily at the port, which has a capacity of 200 trucks per day or 10,000 tonne. \u201cThe cargo arrives damp and needs to be dried in silos. We have four silos, each with a 10,000-tonne capacity. Three are full, and the fourth is being loaded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He acknowledged logistical challenges due to Amaggi\u2019s operations, which bring in around 110 trucks daily to the company\u2019s private drying facilities. \u201cThere is indeed a logistical bottleneck,\u201d Mr. Parente said.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
