AD Ports expands into Brazil with USD 835 mn acquisition:<\/strong> AD Ports Group acquired Brazilian agri-bulk terminal operator Corredor Logistica e Infraestrutura (CLI) in a USD 835 mn (c.AED 3.1 bn) agreement, marking its entry into the Brazilian market, according to a disclosure (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Expected to close in 2H, the transaction will give AD Ports control of two major <\/strong>export gateways <\/strong>that handle a significant share of Brazil\u2019s agricultural commodity exports. CLI fully owns CLI Norte at the Port of Itaqui, a key grain export gateway in the country\u2019s growing Northern Arc logistics corridor. It also holds an 80% stake in CLI Sul at the Port of Santos, Brazil\u2019s largest sugar export terminal, which also handles corn and soybean volumes. <\/p>\n

Location, location, location: <\/strong>Spanning northern Brazil and the Amazon basin, the region has emerged as one of the country\u2019s fastest-growing export corridors as agricultural producers increasingly seek shorter, more efficient routes to international markets.<\/p>\n

A change in presence across the region: <\/strong>While the group already has logistics operations across Latin America through its Noatum subsidiary<\/a>, including activities<\/a> in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, the acquisition of CLI gives it ownership of strategic port infrastructure in Brazil for the first time. <\/p>\n

Why this matters:<\/strong> AD Ports is gaining a larger role in global commodities trade, buying a foothold in one of the world\u2019s most important agricultural export markets. Brazil is the world\u2019s largest sugar exporter and a major supplier of corn, soybeans, and grains. It extends the strategy of building an end-to-end logistics network. <\/p>\n

Not the first Emirati foot to land in Brazil:<\/strong> DP World deepened its presence at the Port of Santos through a long-term agreement with Maersk in March last year<\/a>, and announced plans to expand capacity at its Brazilian terminal to 2.1 mn TEUs by the end of 2027, up from 1.4 mn TEUs. The port operator is also partnering with railway operator Rumo to develop a new grain and fertilizer terminal \u2014 showing interest in Brazil\u2019s role as a commodities export powerhouse. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
