• Visit of Chinese delegation to Brazil can bring investments to the country

China wants to grow the business in Latin America, and facilitate access to Brazilian production, especially soybeans, without relying on the Panama Canal, which has strong influence of the United States. But to become reality, the project has to face challenges in engineering, environmental and political.
Experts say that investments in the railroad can be close to R $ 30 billion. The main beneficiaries would be the farmers of the West of Mato Grosso, which have a shorter route to transport the crops, especially soybeans, reducing transport by road. In 2014, China imported Mato Grosso products worth $ 4.9 billion, of which $ 4.6 billion was allocated to imports of soybeans, as the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC).
