OVERVIEW:
With the arrival of the railroad Ferronorte
in 2002, Bunge, Cargill and Galvani set up operations. The railroad will
move west to the cities of Rondonópolis and Cuiabá
connecting Mato Grosso to the
Port of Santos
by rail. This will take several years.
Railroad Alto
Araguaia to Rondonópolis
The concession
for the construction of the 140 km between these two cities will
be signed next week. Construction has been on hold for
five years. The consortium of companies have two years to
complete the rail line. Eventually, the line will connect
Cuiabá, the capital, to Port of Santos.
