With this agreement, the Panama Canal looks to promote the use of the Panamax Locks for grain transits originating in northern Brazil and traveling to markets in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to a very productive relationship while we work together on our mutual objectives of improving and facilitating global trade,\u201d said Panama Canal Administrator Jorge L. Quijano.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement will allow the Panama Canal and Port of Itaqui to conduct joint marketing activities and exchange market studies and information on trade flows to support modernization and improvement programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement is very important to enable the handling of grains to Asia through the Canal, providing even more competitiveness to Itaqui and already contemplating the growth of grain handling by the northern arch ofBrazil,\u201d said Maranh\u00e3o Port Administration Company President Ted Lago.<\/p>\n<p>According to the agreement, \u201cboth parties would like to cooperate in creating awareness of the benefits that derive from the Panama Canal Expansionand the optimization of the internal transportation that is used to movesoybeans and other cargoes from Brazil through the Panama Canal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, Brazil ranks among the main producers of grains worldwide and growthprospects are encouraging.
