Brazil s International Presence in grain trading While global demand for grains stays strong, no country in the world has the land availability to sustain increased production in a way Brazil does. Brazil`s export volume of soybean has been increasing rapidly from 1990 s and achieved approximately 46 million tons, which accounts for 41% of soybean trade market in 2013. Brazil is now responsible for supply for demand of grains increasing in the world. Copyright Sojitz Corporation 2009 2

Brazil s New Export Corridor in North Brazil s grain exports are heavily relying on ports in south, such as Santos, Paranaguá and Rio Grande. As a result, constant traffic congestion and shipment delays have long been an issue for importers and exporters of Brazilian grains. New northern grain export corridors are now being developed at ever faster pace with the government support. Most of Brazil s additional grain productions are expected from northern region, called MAPITOBA, and then exported from northern ports. Copyright Sojitz Corporation 2009 5

Brazilian Soybean and Corn Exports to Asia In 2013, 75% of Brazilian Soybeans were exported to China (10 million tons more than in 2011). Chinese government has policy to prioritize production of rice, wheat and corn for use of its limited farmland. With little land left for soybean domestic production, China has no other way to import more soybeans to sustain its demand for soybeans. Thailand was the second largest importer in Asia of Brazilian soybeans in 2013 with 1.1 million tons., while Japan became the largest importer of Brazilian corn in 2013 Sojitz, with CGG s strong grain procurement network in Brazil, aims to expand its Brazilian grain sales to Asia.
