Foreign Trade
In terms of tonnes handled, the Brazilian trade
flow that used ports and terminals in 2008
reached 568 million in imports and exports of
goods. Between 2008 and 2007 this growth was
about 1.6%.
On balance, it appears that the flows of exports
reached 454 million, a surplus of around
339 million tonnes. Imports grew by 3% over
2007, higher than the 1.3% rate recorded in exports
over this period.
Between 2004 and 2008, we notice that the
average annual growth in foreign trade flows
stood at 7.2% per year, with exports at approximately
7.6% per year, and imports showing annual
variations of around 5.5%. It is recorded
that there was a greater increase in amounts
between 2006 and 2007, with a 10% increase,
boosted by imports, which stood at 19%. However,
considering the variation between 2007
and 2008, although the average annual growth
since 2003 was 7%, the tonnage of foreign trade
recorded in port handling decreased by 2%. One
can attribute this to the reflexes of the international
financial crisis, more evident in the second
half of 2008.
