Vice President Geraldo Alckmin stated in Rio Claro that the completion of the Single Foreign Trade Portal by December could reduce Brazilian operational costs by R$ 40 billion annually, while advocating for exports, new markets, and strengthening the national industry.
The reduction of R$ 40 billion per year in foreign trade costs was projected by Geraldo Alckmin this Monday (25), in Rio Claro, with the completion of the Single Portal by December, a measure related to exports and imports.
Single Portal should cut bureaucracy in exports
The Vice President and Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services linked the progress of Siscomex to the reduction of the Brazil Cost. The statement was made during the inauguration of the new Whirlpool factory.
Alckmin stated that cargoes stopped in ships, ports, airports, or clearance stages generate significant losses for Brazilian companies. One day of waiting, he said, can cost 0.8% of the cargo’s value.

Although the market is ‘divided’ on the committee’s decision, the stronger trend in recent weeks is that the rate will remain unchanged at the current level of 14.50% per year. Meanwhile, a minority faction still ‘bets’ on a 0.25 percentage point (p.p) decrease.

Guarulhos becomes the “Faria Lima of warehouses” with logistics square meter at R$ 37.11, more expensive than the São Paulo capital, while Shopee, Mercado Livre, Amazon, and billion-dollar funds compete for space near the largest airport in South America.
In the minister’s assessment, the modernization of the Single Portal should speed up logistical procedures and reduce operational costs. The expectation is that the simplification will help companies compete better abroad.
Whirlpool is cited as a hub for Latin America
During the agenda in Rio Claro, Alckmin said that the new Whirlpool unit should function as an export hub, serving markets in Latin America.
The statement was connected to the need to expand the presence of the Brazilian industry abroad. The minister stated that there are segments that depend on international sales to maintain scale and relevance.
As an example, he cited Embraer, saying that the company would not exist without selling to the entire world. He also mentioned the recovery of Avibras, in Jacareí, after years of crisis.
Trade agreements enter the strategy
Alckmin linked the expansion of Brazilian trade to agreements signed by Mercosur with Singapore and with members of the European Free Trade Association, Efta.
Negotiations with the European Union were also mentioned as part of the strategy to expand markets. For the government, the combination of less logistical bureaucracy and trade openness can strengthen Brazilian exports.
