Road blockades cause 20% freight rate hike for Brazil corn

The most affected routes are the Sorriso-Miritituba and the Sinop Miritituba, Abiove President Andre Nassar said by telephone. As a result of disruptions caused by the road blockades, certain Abiove members expressed concern about failing to honour corn export contracts, Nassar said.
