The bioceanic connection and its importance for the Brazilian economy

This research will present the bioceanic link project between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which is being conducted by Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay. It is a project of great importance for South American geopolitics, since it will allow for better integration of the region, especially for these four countries that are conducting the project. This study will initially discuss the consequent impact on Brazil that the dependence on the use of Atlantic ports brings and the prospects of the project for the country. Then, the bioceanic corridor project will be presented, its current status with regard to its implementation, and the importance that the project will bring to the regional economy will be emphasized, and more specifically, the benefits that it will bring to Brazil. The shortening of the distances of the maritime routes between the country and the Asian markets, the main destinations for Brazilian products, will result in reductions in the logistics costs of transportation and, as a result, national products will be able to have greater competitive advantages over international competitors.
