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.
