This infographic from the Climate Policy Initiative analyzes the impact of transport infrastructure on agricultural productivity and export costs in Brazil, specifically comparing the routes from Cuiabá to the ports of Santarém and Santos.

• Improving road infrastructure on the highway between Cuiabá and Santarém (BR-163) could lower transportation costs by 54%. While the port of Santarém is closer to foreign markets like Europe and the United States, the current route from Cuiabá to Santarém is poorly paved, and the alternative route to the port of Santos requires trucks to travel 3,000km.
• The port of Santos is the primary destination for grain exports, but it is more expensive than Santarém, with costs reported as 18 times greater.
• Complex regulations in the sector create hidden subsidies and limit long-term profitability, which reduces investor interest, degrades road quality, and undermines the effectiveness of concession auctions.
