摘要: Brazil is the second largest soybean exporter after the United States and one of the most important U.S. competitors in the world oilseeds market. Transportation infrastructure and cost are key aspects of Brazils competitiveness in the world market. The Soybean Transportation Guide is a visual snapshot of Brazilian soybean transportation in 2006. It provides data on the cost of shipping soybeans via highways and ships to Shanghai, China and Hamburg, Germany, as well as information about soybean production, exporting, railways, and ports. From 2005 to 2006, the cost of transporting soybeans to Hamburg, Germany decreased from Parana (PR) and Mato Grosso (MT) but increased from South Goias (GO) and Rio Grande do Sul (RS). In U.S. dollar terms, total shipping costs have increased. However, due to the appreciation of the real, some areas of Brazil have seen proportionately smaller increases or even a decline in shipping costs because appreciation of the real means lower transportation costs for Brazilian shippers. During the year, the real appreciated 10.63 percent, from 2.4360 to 2.1771 reais per U.S. dollar. This, combined with an increased soybean demand from China, put pressure on international transportation rates that could translate into higher shipping costs for U.S. exporters.
