Market Talks: The effects of changes in port costs in Brazil

Port costs are now calculated based on the vessel's deadweight, that is, the total weight of the ship's cargo. Previously, the cost considered handling cargo in each Brazilian port. That change raises questions about the formula and whether the responsibility for payment lies with the importer, shipping agent or shipowner.

Join Renata Cardarelli, Deputy Editor for the Argus Brazil Grains and Fertilizer publication, and Fernando Valle, Commercial and New Projects Manager at shipping agency Unimar, as they talk about the new calculation and explain the main doubts generated by the changes.

Falando de Mercado: Os efeitos da mudança nas tarifas portuárias no Brasil

A tarifa portuária passou a ser calculada com base no deadweight da embarcação, ou seja, o peso total de carga do navio. Anteriormente, a cobrança era feita por movimentação de carga em cada porto brasileiro. Além de dúvidas sobre o cálculo, a mudança na cobrança de custos portuários gera questionamentos sobre se a responsabilidade de pagamento é do importador, agente marítimo ou armador.

Junte-se a Renata Cardarelli, editora assistente da publicação Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizantes, e Fernando Valle, coordenador de projetos e novos negócios na agência marítima Unimar. Eles conversam sobre a cobrança e esclarecem as principais dúvidas geradas pelas mudanças nos cálculos das tarifas portuárias.

Falando de Mercado: Preço doméstico de fertilizante diverge de importado

Os preços de fertilizantes no mercado brasileiro caíram no primeiro semestre do ano, em meio à menor demanda, mas o ritmo nos mercados doméstico e de importação não foi linear. As compras regionais começaram o ano de forma mais lenta, com o elevado estoque de passagem permitindo que agricultores adiassem as negociações diante do risco reduzido de escassez de fertilizantes.

Camila Dias, diretora da Argus no Brasil, conversa com Flavia Bohone, editora da publicação Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizantes, sobre as razões que levaram a esse movimento na primeira metade do ano e o que esperar do segundo semestre.
