EXPORTERS DEMAND GOVERNMENT ACTION AGAINST CONTAINER “BLACKOUT”

31/08/2021

Brazilian agribusiness exporters are demanding more action from the federal government in the debate on solutions for the “blackout” of containers
that the sector faces in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Valor, there is dissatisfaction with the lack of dialogue — and initiative — by the federal government in discussions on a problem that is taking away the competitiveness of shipments, which have a great weight in the country’s trade balance.

Until now, the conversations have been within Instituto Pensar Agro (IPA). “We were waiting for an official nod from the government, but that hasn’t happened so far. The sector is eager to speak and be heard,” a source familiar with the matter told Valor.
