Bioceanic Corridor development and trade integration

Overview

Efforts to develop the Bioceanic Corridor have progressed through both specific port infrastructure discussions and broader international agribusiness summits.

In August 2026, a Brazilian delegation led by the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) visited the Port of Iquique in Chile. The visit focused on strengthening cargo flow by meeting with port leadership to discuss infrastructure, berth availability, and expansion projects. Officials aimed to streamline customs procedures and utilize the local Free Trade Zone (Zofri) as a strategic logistics hub for goods moving between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

By September 2026, the focus expanded to a multilateral discussion involving representatives from Brazil, China, South Korea, Paraguay, and Chile at the Agrotalk Business event. Participants analyzed the corridor’s potential to reduce delivery times for Brazilian products to Asia by 14 to 20 days. Updates were also provided regarding the construction of an international bridge over the Parana River.
