Current and Potential Cargo<br />

In Brazil, the waterway model is designed to<br />

handle large volumes of cargo of low value added.<br />

Thus, for the area in question, local agricultural<br />

production shall be the cargo to be transported<br />

on the waterway.<br />

To determine the cargo potential, grain production<br />

was investigated in each of the 128 municipalities<br />

in the area of influence. The data were<br />

obtained from the IBGE and refer to the year<br />

2007.<br />

The following table shows the growth of grain<br />

production in the four states with municipalities in<br />
