The infrastructure company has taken the lead in launching the construction of the new terminal at the Port of Santos. Its strategic vision aims to meet the growing demands of the industry, focusing on the handling of solid bulk agricultural products.
This action not only demonstrates confidence in Brazil’s logistical capabilities but also points to a long-term partnership with the country.
The new solid bulk terminal promises to revolutionize the port capacity at the Port of Santos.
With operations expected to begin by 2025, its full functionality by 2026 will bring significant improvements to cargo handling, allowing the company’s capacity to increase to up to 14 million tons of products.
The acquisition of the right to operate terminal STS 11 by the company occurred in an auction last year, solidifying Cofco International Brazil’s commitment to the Port of Santos.
The substantial investment of over R$ 764 million signals a vote of confidence in the economic potential of the region.
This strategic collaboration also emphasizes the crucial role of international partnerships in promoting sustainable economic growth.

With the forecast of creating 11,000 indirect jobs by the end of the construction, the new terminal project reinforces Cofco’s role as a job creator and a driver of socioeconomic development.
Cofco International Brazil’s presence at the Port of Santos marks a moment of historical significance, where the celebration focuses on the start of construction, laden with special importance.
The effort and dedication permeating the entire project reflect the company’s commitment, supported by the strong backing of the APS president and the mayor of Santos.
