Did you know that Wilson Sons set a record at Tecon Rio Grande for rice exports, with 10,000 containers for the year? More than 252,000 tons were exported to Peru, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, Cape Verde, South Africa, and Angola.
Peru, which continues to be the destination for the largest volume of grain shipped by Tecon Rio Grande, recorded a 12% increase between January and November compared to the same period in 2019.
According to the CEO of Tecon Rio Grande, Paulo Bertinetti, the good results are due to high productivity in the 2019/20 harvest, which exceeded initial expectations, the conquest of new markets, and changes in consumption patterns caused by the pandemic.
