Bulk niche boxing clever

Brazil’s dry bulk sector has scope to expand if it can overcome infrastructure challenges.

Despite falling bulk carrier demand, grain shipments have held up relatively well compared with mined commodities like iron ore and coal.

Brazil and the US are two major grain export nations where shipping costs continue to climb, creating challenging conditions for farmers, traders and the authorities.

Regardless of the causes of climate change, it is now an accepted fact that weather patterns are far less predictable than they used to be. This will lead to a change in grain export patterns, both indirectly and directly.
