The Maranhão Grain Terminal (Tegram) has begun an expansion process budgeted at R$ 800 million to increase its grain export capacity. This expansion aims to enhance the export corridor of soybeans, soybean meal, and corn from the Mapito region – the last frontier of Brazilian agribusiness.

Together with the other three operators at the port, an early renewal of the leasing contract combined with an increase in the area has been requested. According to Helcio Tokeshi, CEO of CLI (Logistics and Infrastructure Corridor), this will represent a 60% increase in export capacity.

The Tegram is the means for the Mapito region to reach new levels of development, offering effective logistics solutions to boost exports. The Tegram Complex will enhance agribusiness by quadrupling the number of vertical silos and road hoppers. This expansion has been divided into four parts among the terminal operators: CLI, Glencore, Terminal Corredor Norte, and ALZ Terminais Portuários.

The Coteminas group, controlled by Josué Gomes da Silva, son of former Vice President José Alencar, already owned CLI at the Itaqui Port.

According to Tokeshi, this was an aggressive offensive by the company in the logistics area that will certainly bring great benefits to the market.
