Imagine for a moment the possibilities that open up when your company can access a market of 250 million consumers and, at the same time, use that platform to project itself to the entire world. This vision is now the reality that Brazil makes available to Colombian companies that dare to expand their commercial horizons.
Currently, it is the gateway that many Colombian companies were looking for to conquer global markets. Its geostrategic position and evolving infrastructure make it the ideal logistics partner for those seeking to grow without borders.
Did you know that since 2017 there is a legal framework that greatly facilitates trade operations between Colombia and Brazil? The Economic Complementation Agreement (ACE-72), established within the framework of Mercosur, is the key that can open extraordinary opportunities for your company.
This agreement represents more than figures and regulations. It means that Colombian products have preferential access to one of the continent's largest markets, while companies can obtain cheaper raw materials and capital goods. The result is tangible: lower production costs and greater competitiveness in the international market.
Brazil's magic lies in its dual function: it is both a mass consumption market and a redistribution center that connects you to the world. When you decide to bet on Brazil, you are choosing a platform to Europe, Asia, and North America. (Article - Internacional Roldan Logistics)
To think of more than 7,000 kilometers of Brazilian coastline is to imagine a world of maritime possibilities. But the reality is even more impressive: maritime traffic handles more than 90% of Brazilian exports and imports, turning each port into a concrete opportunity for your business.
The ports of Paranaguá, Rio Grande and Santos are your future allies in the conquest of international markets. From the Colombian ports of Buenaventura, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta, your products can sail to Brazilian destinations such as Belem, Fortaleza, Itajaí, Navegantes, Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande, San Francisco Do Sul, Santos, Suape, Pecem and Vitoria.
Here comes the really exciting part: from Colombia's Atlantic coast, 7 carriers operate 49 direct services with transit times that can be as short as 7 days. Need more options? There are 51 additional connecting routes that expand your possibilities, with strategic transshipments that optimize costs and times. (Article - Internacional Roldan Logistics)
When it comes to high-value products, pharmaceuticals, electronics or perishables, air transport is your best ally. Brazil understands this perfectly and has developed an airport infrastructure that functions as a network of high-altitude distribution centers.
The State of São Paulo concentrates four commercial aviation jewels: Viracopos, Guarulhos, Antônio Carlos Jobim/Galeão and Eduardo Gomes/Manaus. But if there is one name you should remember, it is Guarulhos. This airport is your logistics hub to Europe, Asia, and North America.
Imagine your Colombian products arriving in Brasilia, São Paulo, Manaus, Belo Horizonte or Rio de Janeiro, and from there being distributed with the efficiency required for international operations. This air connectivity transforms what once seemed insurmountable distances into completely viable trade routes. (Article - Internacional Roldan Logistics)
Brazil is writing the future of South American logistics, and your company can be part of this story. The Brazilian government has made bold decisions, allocating significant resources to modernize highways and pave the way for 4G and 5G technologies. This is investment in your commercial future.
The BR do Mar project, currently in Congress, promises to revolutionize cabotage and generate new multimodal transportation opportunities. Its objective is clear: to increase the supply of maritime transport and reduce costs, directly benefiting companies such as yours that seek to optimize their operations.
But here comes the most interesting part: in the next 15 years, Brazilian rail transport will reach about 40% of the transport matrix, matching the levels of the most developed countries. This transformation includes rail growth, improved coastal navigation and a strong participation of private capital. It is an open invitation to be part of a continental logistics revolution.

We share with you some figures that show why Brazil deserves your trust. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), in 2023 Brazil imported USD 252.7 billion and exported USD 339.7 billion in goods. In services, the figures were equally impressive: USD 82.8 billion in imports and USD 45.2 billion in exports.
Brazil's main trading partners include China (30.7%), the United States (11%), Argentina (4.9%), the Netherlands (3.6%) and Mexico (2.5%) in exports. Being present in Brazil means connecting with this global trade network and accessing markets that may have seemed unreachable.
Among the star products are soybeans (15.7%), crude petroleum oils (12.5%), iron ores (9%), cane sugar (4.6%) and corn (4%). This diversification demonstrates the multiple opportunities to integrate into international value chains. (Article - Santandertrade)
