## Company Profile BERTLING LOGISTICS BRASIL LTDA. is the Brazilian arm of Bertling Logistics, an international freight forwarder and project logistics specialist. The company provides airfreight and ocean freight forwarding, customs clearance and documentation support, and project/heavy‑lift services for industrial and agribusiness shippers. Contact channel for airfreight enquiries is inquiries.airfreight@bertling.com and the corporate website is bertling.com. (Local scale not publicly listed in the brief; operates as a regional forwarding subsidiary within Bertling’s global network.) ## Pain Points 1) Port congestion and schedule unreliability at Santos and other Brazilian ports → exporters face demurrage, rollover and lost volumes; forwarders must offer alternative routings (air or secondary ports) quickly. 2) Airfreight rate and capacity volatility on Brazil→US lanes (need for flexible MIA consolidation options) — forwarders with limited access to flexible air channels risk losing urgent, premium shipments. 3) Compliance & digital integration (e‑Phyto, customs single‑window) and inland logistics fragility — exporters require end‑to‑end document orchestration and multimodal resiliency that many forwarders cannot deliver without new tech or partners. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [MARKET EVENTS] === Brazil export mix & trade flow shifts (soy, sugar, coffee, beef) - Overall agribusiness exports: Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture reported agribusiness exports of US$38.1 billion in Q1 2026, a record for any first quarter.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Soy complex: US$12.13 billion (31.8% of agribusiness exports), up 11.5% YoY in value.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Animal proteins (beef, pork, poultry, etc.): US$8.12 billion (21.3%), up 21.8% YoY.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Coffee: US$3.32 billion (8.7%), down 19.2% YoY (price and some volume pressure).([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Sugar–ethanol complex: US$2.33 billion (6.1%), down 22.4% YoY, reflecting lower world sugar prices (sugar prices −17.4% YoY Jan–Nov 2025, after −13.7% in 2024).([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Price environment (affecting trade flows): Inter‑American Development Bank estimates for Jan–Nov 2025 show:([publications.iadb.org](https://publications.iadb.org/publications/english/document/Trade-Trends-Estimates-Latin-America-and-the-Caribbean.-2026-Edition.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Soybean prices −6.7% YoY (third consecutive year of declines). - Sugar −17.4% YoY (following −13.7% in 2024). - Coffee also weaker overall, contributing to the value drop in Brazilian coffee exports. - China exposure: In 2025, Brazil supplied ~73.6% of China’s total soy imports (up from 71% the prior year), cementing Brazil’s role as China’s dominant soy supplier.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-2026-guide/?utm_source=openai)) - Structural risk: analysis notes that a normalization of US–China relations that restores US soybean flows would significantly hit Brazil’s external accounts, underscoring concentration risk on the China soy corridor.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - Animal protein to China: Brazil, already ~35% of global poultry exports, shipped 561 k t of chicken meat to China in 2024 (US$1.288 billion). The Brazilian government projects ~600 k t to China in 2026, indicating continued strength in meat flows, especially poultry, alongside beef.([cnnbrasil.com.br](https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/economia/macroeconomia/brasil-preve-600-mil-toneladas-de-carne-de-frango-para-a-china-em-2026/?utm_source=openai)) Key directional shifts in 2025–26 - Value growth is being driven mainly by soy and animal proteins; sugar and coffee are under price pressure.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) - China’s share in Brazilian soy and poultry/beef remains very high, while the US and EU remain important for higher‑value processed foods, coffee, and some beef cuts.([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-2026-guide/?utm_source=openai)) Container shipping corridors – Brazil to US, EU, China (2025–26) - Santos as primary export hub: Latest “Facts & Figures 2026” for Port of Santos (data year 2025) confirm Santos as Brazil’s main container port, with record container throughput and a heavy agribusiness cargo mix (soy meal, sugar, meat in reefer, coffee).([portodesantos.com.br](https://www.portodesantos.com.br/wp-content/uploads/Facts-Figures-2026.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Santos Brasil (Tecon Santos) reports its terminal has the highest crane productivity in LatAm, at 81.86 movements per hour, yet still faces reliability issues.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ports_of_Brazil?utm_source=openai)) - Reliability / congestion: - Santos Brasil data show deep‑sea service delays and omissions at Santos reached 71% of calls in 2024, easing to about 60% in early‑2026, which still implies significant schedule unreliability impacting export planning.([icis.com](https://www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2026/04/16/11198606/port-operator-santos-brasil-speeds-up-expansion-as-chemicals-agro-cargo-pushes-volumes-up-exec?utm_source=openai)) - A January 2026 study by Cecafé (Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council) highlights that port bottlenecks and lack of containerized capacity generate “millions in losses,” with cargo blocked from entering terminals because of ship delays and full yards; they explicitly link this to reduced competitiveness for agribusiness exports.([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) - A separate 2025 port‑bottleneck warning estimated that in March 2025 Brazil failed to ship over 600,000 bags of coffee due to congestion and logistical issues, showing direct volume at risk for containerized coffee exports.([olgn.org](https://www.olgn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Seatrade-Supply-chain-warning-over-Brazilian-port-bottlenecks.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Network evolution to US/EU/China: - Major East–West liner networks for 2026 (HMM, ONE, Yang Ming, etc.) are adding tonnage and re‑optimising Asia–Europe and Asia–North America loops, indirectly freeing some capacity on South America links by fleet cascades, though Brazil–Asia and Brazil–Europe remain secondary in these global plans.([container-news.com](https://container-news.com/one-unveils-updated-east-west-service-network-for-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - Brazil‑focused shipping barometers for Jan 2026 show congestion indexes at Santos improved vs 2024 but still elevated; this leads carriers to adjust rotations and omit calls more frequently, affecting export reliability to US, EU, and China.([cyprusshippingnews.com](https://cyprusshippingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/BRAZIL_BAROMETER_JAN_2026.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Air‑cargo export corridors (Brazil–US/EU/China) - Structural role: Brazil’s perishable and high‑value agrifood exports (fresh fruit, chilled meat, seafood, pharma, some coffee and specialty foods) continue to rely on air freight mainly through São Paulo–Guarulhos (GRU), Viracopos (VCP), Campinas, and Manaus, with Miami (MIA) the principal US gateway and key European hubs (AMS, FRA, LIS, MAD) for EU, plus some links via the Gulf to Asia/China.([miami-airport.com](https://www.miami-airport.com/home-cargo.asp?utm_source=openai)) - Global context: IATA’s early‑2026 data show global air‑cargo demand up 5.6% YoY in January 2026, with supply–demand broadly re‑balanced vs pandemic extremes. Latin American carriers’ market share remains small (~2.9% of global CTKs in 2025), but they participate heavily on North–South lanes (Latin America–US and Europe).([iata.org](https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2026-releases/2026-03-02-01/?utm_source=openai)) Implications for soy, sugar, coffee, beef exporters - Bulk soy/sugar flows remain primarily in bulk and containerized ocean freight, strongly tied to China and growing intra‑Asia demand. Beef and poultry rely on both reefer container shipping and, for premium cuts or urgent shipments, airfreight. Structural congestion at Santos, and to a lesser extent Paranaguá and other ports, continues to create rollover and demurrage risk for these commodities in 2025–26, despite some easing vs 2022–24.([icis.com](https://www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2026/04/16/11198606/port-operator-santos-brasil-speeds-up-expansion-as-chemicals-agro-cargo-pushes-volumes-up-exec?utm_source=openai)) Sources:([riotimesonline.com](https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-agribusiness-q1-2026-record-us-china-trade/?utm_source=openai)) === 2. [DEMAND SIGNALS] === Airfreight capacity & rate trends Brazil → US, with focus on MIA (2025–26) Capacity & volumes - Miami as Latin America hub: Miami International Airport handled a record 3.4 million tons of freight in 2024 across all commodities, reinforcing its status as the main US air‑cargo trans‑shipment point linking Latin America (including Brazil) with North America, Europe, and Asia.([miami-airport.com](https://www.miami-airport.com/home-cargo.asp?utm_source=openai)) - Miami‑Dade’s FY 2025–26 forecast projects MIA cargo tonnage to grow 5.3% to about 3.03 million tons in FY 2025–26, and then around 2% annually thereafter, signalling continued, though more moderate, expansion of capacity and throughput.([miamidade.gov](https://www.miamidade.gov/resources/budget/adopted/fy2025-26/five-year-forecast-major-proprietary-functions.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Brazilian carrier capacity: LATAM’s SEC 20‑F (filed Feb 2026) shows LATAM cargo affiliates operating 20 B767‑300 freighters (7 factory freighters, 13 converted) as of Dec 31 2025, with one freighter slated for sale in 2026. LATAM Cargo Brasil is flagged as the only wide‑body freighter operator in the Brazilian domestic market and a major belly‑cargo user on long‑haul passenger flights to MIA and other US gateways.([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1047716/000104771626000046/ltm-20251231.htm?utm_source=openai)) - LATAM maintains a strong freighter and belly network to MIA, complemented by road‑feeder services from Miami to other US cities (LA, NY, Chicago, Orlando), which allows Brazilian exports arriving via MIA to connect quickly to US inland markets.([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1047716/000104771626000046/ltm-20251231.htm?utm_source=openai)) - Network development: While recent LATAM news has focused on new Miami–Caracas and Miami–Panama–Bogotá routes (100 t/week incremental capacity on some flows), these add to MIA’s hub role and indirectly increase southbound and northbound connectivity for Brazil cargo via LATAM’s South American network (e.g., Guarulhos connections).([freightweek.org](https://www.freightweek.org/index.php/en/more-news-2/4846-latam-cargo-announces-new-us-routes?utm_source=openai)) Rates & pricing environment - Global level: - WorldACD‑based data reported in April 2026 show average worldwide air‑cargo rates at US$2.98/kg in week 13 of 2026, the highest level so far this year, indicating renewed upward pressure after the post‑pandemic normalization.([cargosolutionsnetwork.com](https://cargosolutionsnetwork.com/insights/latam-cargo-launches-miami-caracas-route-with-100-tonnes-weekly?utm_source=openai)) - IATA and marketplace analyses describe 2026 as a “robust but competitive” year: IATA expects ~71.6 million tonnes of cargo in 2026 with modest volume growth (~2–4% range) but lingering volatility.([airfreightprice.com](https://airfreightprice.com/blog/iata-air-cargo-demand-growth-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - Lane‑specific signal (Latin America ↔ North America): - IATA’s regional breakdown indicates that Latin America and Caribbean carriers saw a modest recovery in late‑2025, with early‑2026 demand growing but from a small base (2.9% of global CTKs). Capacity on some North–South lanes has been re‑allocated as Middle East capacity contracts and trans‑Pacific stabilizes, which can support competitive but volatile rates on Brazil–US lanes.([iata.org](https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2026-releases/2026-03-02-01/?utm_source=openai)) - Advisory outlooks for 2026 note that, apart from Far East–North America, capacity grew on most major lanes in Jan 2026; this includes Europe–North America and other flows that indirectly shape capacity repositioning into Latin America.([istat.org](https://www.istat.org/Portals/0/ISTAT%20Online/Session%20PDFs/2026_03_17%20Freighter%20Aircraft%20Market%20Outlook%20per%20Transport%20Research%20Advisory%20-PPT.pdf?ver=PDNQJFSji7Tahm9PC-BTIg%3D%3D&utm_source=openai)) - Brazil–US cost benchmarks (shipper‑level advisory): - A 2026 shipper guide on Brazil–US logistics notes that air freight from São Paulo (GRU) to Miami typically takes 1–2 days of flight time and emphasizes that freight forwarders can often secure 15–30% lower ocean‑freight rates than direct shipper–carrier deals; it also positions airfreight as the premium option when time‑sensitive or when port congestion threatens ocean reliability. Specific per‑kg Brazil–US air‑cargo spot rates are not given, but the article stresses that they track global trends described above (directionally around the US$3/kg global average in early‑2026, subject to lane surcharges).([suaidglobal.com](https://suaidglobal.com/insights/import-from-brazil-to-usa/?utm_source=openai)) Demand for flexible airfreight via MIA - Gateway preference signals: - MIA’s budget forecast frames the airport explicitly as “the major air cargo trans‑shipment point between Latin America and the [world],” and anticipates steady cargo growth from perishables, pharmaceuticals, and e‑commerce – all categories relevant to Brazilian exporters of fresh produce, chilled meat, processed foods, and high‑value specialties.([miamidade.gov](https://www.miamidade.gov/resources/budget/adopted/fy2025-26/five-year-forecast-major-proprietary-functions.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Cargo development materials emphasize MIA’s role in handling large volumes of perishables and pharma, with growing infrastructure (cool chain, pharma handling) – an indicator that shippers and forwarders are increasingly targeting flexible, rapid routings via MIA rather than only traditional all‑water or Gulf transshipment options.([miami-airport.com](https://www.miami-airport.com/home-cargo.asp?utm_source=openai)) - Market‑wide air‑cargo demand: - IATA and independent analysts note that structural drivers – e‑commerce, time‑sensitive high‑value goods, and supply‑chain risk mitigation – are supporting sustained demand for flexible airfreight even as macro trade growth slows. This supports continued, if moderate, Brazil–US air‑cargo demand growth anchored on MIA as a hub.([airfreightprice.com](https://airfreightprice.com/blog/iata-air-cargo-demand-growth-february-2026/?utm_source=openai)) Summary signal for 2026 planning - Capacity on Brazil–US air corridors via MIA is increasing moderately (MIA tonnage forecast +5.3% FY 2025–26; LATAM maintaining a sizable freighter fleet and belly capacity). - Global rates are firming (around US$3/kg average), with tightness episodically driven by geopolitical and seasonal factors. - Shippers are using MIA as a flexible consolidation/deconsolidation hub to hedge against Brazil’s ocean‑freight congestion and to serve US interior markets quickly, suggesting growing relative demand for flexible airfreight solutions via MIA in 2026 vs pre‑pandemic norms.

[PROBLEM FRAMING] === Brazilian exporter pain points in 2026 & impact on freight forwarders Port congestion & infrastructure bottlenecks - Cecafé findings (Jan 2026): Bottlenecks in port infrastructure are “responsible for millions in losses” and threaten agribusiness competitiveness. Key issues identified:([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) - Insufficient containerised capacity and terminal space. - Recurring vessel delays and omissions due to lack of capacity. - Lack of data‑driven logistics planning. - Additional storage, detention, “pre‑stacking” and extra fees because cargo reaches port but cannot enter terminals when ships are delayed and yards are full. - Service reliability metrics (Santos Brasil, Apr 2026): - Deep‑sea container services at Santos recorded 71% of calls with delays/omissions in 2024; this improved to about 60% in early‑2026 but still represents systemic unreliability.([icis.com](https://www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2026/04/16/11198606/port-operator-santos-brasil-speeds-up-expansion-as-chemicals-agro-cargo-pushes-volumes-up-exec?utm_source=openai)) - Wider port‑bottleneck data (Seatrade/UNCTAD‑referenced report, 2025): - In March 2025, Brazil failed to ship more than 600,000 bags of coffee due to port congestion and logistics problems, a concrete example of volume lost or rolled to subsequent months.([olgn.org](https://www.olgn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Seatrade-Supply-chain-warning-over-Brazilian-port-bottlenecks.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Inland logistics & network fragility - KPMG’s 2026 South America supply‑chain trends highlight:([kpmg.com](https://kpmg.com/br/pt/insights/2026/02/tendencias-supply-chain-2026-impactos-na-america-do-sul.html?utm_source=openai)) - Persistent “Brazil Cost” from fragmented road‑based logistics, limited rail penetration from the interior to ports, and infrastructure gaps. - Growing need to integrate emissions (Scope 3) and ESG metrics, which is challenging given current inland‑logistics data quality and asset age. - Cecafé reports exporters exploring alternative ports (e.g., Rio de Janeiro, Sepetiba) and rail options to mitigate dependence on Santos, but such alternatives require additional handling and often higher inland costs and longer lead times.([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) Certification / phytosanitary processes - Digitalisation push: - MAPA’s e‑Phyto (electronic phytosanitary certificate) system was rolled out nationally with full effect from 2025, aiming to replace paper certificates with digital ones. It is intended to cut bureaucracy and port dwell times by enabling secure, standardised electronic data exchange with partner NPPOs.([gov.br](https://www.gov.br/agricultura/pt-br/assuntos/vigilancia-agropecuaria/importacao-e-exportacao/certificado-fitossanitario-eletronico?utm_source=openai)) - As of Aug 2025, MAPA reported more than 20,000 e‑Phyto certificates issued, covering exports from 447 companies at 61 port and airport points, indicating rapid uptake.([gov.br](https://www.gov.br/agricultura/pt-br/assuntos/noticias/certificado-fitossanitario-eletronico-ultrapassa-20-mil-emissoes-e-impulsiona-exportacoes-brasileiras?utm_source=openai)) - Remaining issues (2025–26): - Despite digital tools, phytosanitary inspections and documentary checks still create chokepoints when staffing, IT systems, or importing‑country requirements are misaligned. Recent MAPA work plans (e.g., for fruit exports to Japan) show that detection of quarantine pests can still result in shipment holds or rejections, meaning exporters remain exposed to inspection‑driven delays even with e‑certificates.([gov.br](https://www.gov.br/agricultura/pt-br/assuntos/sanidade-animal-e-vegetal/sanidade-vegetal/exigencias-fitossanitarias/Plano_de_Trabalho_MANGA_JAPAO_Revisado_2021.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Container shortages & equipment imbalance - Container capacity constraints: - Cecafé and Seatrade reports highlight “lack of adequate capacity for containerised cargo” at Brazilian ports, specifically affecting coffee and other high‑value agrifood exports. This manifests as insufficient empty containers, limited plug‑in points for reefers, and constraints on stacking space.([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) - Global container‑market outlooks for 2026 (S&P Global) forecast softer average freight rates compared with pandemic peaks, but stress that effective capacity is curtailed by port congestion, environmental regulations, and carrier behaviour, contributing to localized shortages and volatility in markets like Brazil.([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/02/2026-ocean-freight-outlook-softer-rates-ahead-but-volatility-is-not-going-anywhere?utm_source=openai)) Currency volatility & macro risk - Broader Latin America trade trends show export volumes up 5.2% in 2025 but values pressured by lower commodity prices (soy, sugar, coffee), making exporters more sensitive to FX swings and freight costs.([publications.iadb.org](https://publications.iadb.org/publications/english/document/Trade-Trends-Estimates-Latin-America-and-the-Caribbean.-2026-Edition.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Brazil’s 2025 nationwide blackout (Oct 14 2025) exposed systemic infrastructure vulnerabilities that can temporarily disrupt production, cold‑chain operations, and port/airport handling – all of which heighten operational risk for exporters and their logistics providers.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Brazil_blackout?utm_source=openai)) Impact on freight forwarders (operational & commercial) - Operational risk & cost pass‑through: - With 60–70% schedule unreliability at key ports such as Santos, forwarders must build in longer lead times, larger safety stocks at origin, and contingency routings (alternative ports, transshipment hubs, or mode shifts to air). This erodes margins when contracts are fixed‑rate or when customers resist surcharges.([icis.com](https://www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2026/04/16/11198606/port-operator-santos-brasil-speeds-up-expansion-as-chemicals-agro-cargo-pushes-volumes-up-exec?utm_source=openai)) - Container shortages and yard congestion increase detention/demurrage exposure. Forwarders often carry these charges initially and face disputes over allocation with shippers, especially when delays stem from systemic port issues rather than shipper behaviour.([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) - Complexity of compliance & documentation: - Transition to e‑Phyto and other digital systems reduces some manual processing but raises integration requirements with forwarders’ TMS/ERP systems. Those unable to integrate may still work through manual portals, losing the potential time‑savings and remaining exposed to errors and delays in phytosanitary and customs documentation.([gov.br](https://www.gov.br/agricultura/pt-br/assuntos/vigilancia-agropecuaria/importacao-e-exportacao/certificado-fitossanitario-eletronico?utm_source=openai)) - Modal shift & product‑mix pressure: - The combination of weaker commodity prices (especially sugar and coffee), port congestion, and FX volatility pushes some shippers toward airfreight for higher‑margin products and time‑sensitive cargo. Forwarders with strong air capabilities at Brazilian gateways and via MIA are better positioned, but must manage air‑rate volatility (global average ~US$3/kg in early‑2026, rising from late‑2025 levels).([publications.iadb.org](https://publications.iadb.org/publications/english/document/Trade-Trends-Estimates-Latin-America-and-the-Caribbean.-2026-Edition.pdf?utm_source=openai)) - Strategic requirements for forwarders in Brazil (2026): - Invest in port diversification (Santos + secondary ports like Rio, Sepetiba, Itapoá, Pecém) and in rail access where available, to reduce dependence on single congested nodes.([portolivrebrasil.com.br](https://www.portolivrebrasil.com.br/en/news/Cecafe%3A-Bottlenecks-in-port-infrastructure-are-responsible-for-millions-in-losses-and-threaten-the-competitiveness-of-agribusiness./?utm_source=openai)) -
