📋 Tender Overview
This milestone of Peru-Brazil Amazon logistics integration confirms that the Amazon can be a strategic corridor, reducing costs, strengthening regional markets and connecting with the Pacific.Lima, February 10, 2026.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSION) reports that the Northern Amazon axis marked a first milestone in the logistics integration between Peru and Brazil with the recent arrival at the port of Yurimaguas-Nueva Reforma of the first batch of soybean cake from the state of Roraima.
This is the first successful operational exercise of multimodal transportation in the binational Amazon, the result of public-private coordination promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR).
The movement of this cargo validates in the field the viability of an alternative logistics corridor that integrates land and river routes between both countries, opening new options for regional trade exchange and optimization of transportation costs.
Brazil is one of the worlds leading soybean exporters, supported by high levels of productivity, economies of scale and lower unit costs. In northern Brazil--including Roraima--prices close to US$0.40 per kilogram are recorded, which reinforces the competitiveness of the product and the potential of Amazonian logistics routes to channel cargo flows.
From the territorial approach, this advance confirms the role of logistics as a lever for Amazonian development, by contributing to reducing transportation times and costs, strengthening regional markets and improving access to strategic goods for the population and productive activities.
The milestone is inserted into a broader infrastructure agenda. Peru, through PROINVERSION, promotes the closing of gaps in the Northern Amazonian Corridor under a comprehensive flow management approach, prioritizing the functional articulation of projects over isolated interventions.
Among the main initiatives, the new port terminals of Saramiriza and Sinchicuy (Iquitos) stand out, with an estimated investment of US$ 205 million, as well as the Amazon Waterway 2.0, currently being prepared under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) modality, aimed at ensuring the navigability of cargo throughout the year.
These interventions allow us to evolve from a fragmented infrastructure logic towards an integrated corridor model, where load dynamics define the sequence and priority of projects.
The Northern Amazon Axis is also articulated with the IIRSA Norte and the Paita Port Terminal, generating an effective exit to the Pacific Ocean and expanding logistical alternatives for regional cargo destined for international markets.
In this process, PROINVERSION has played a central role in the structuring, promotion and awarding of the concessions that make up the corridor, ensuring the participation of the private sector in the development, operation and maintenance of port and river logistics infrastructure.
As the next stage, the consolidation of the corridor requires moving towards an integrated digital environment. Along these lines, MINCETUR has commissioned PROINVERSION to lead the implementation of the Port Community System (PCS), a key tool for logistics interoperability, process optimization and strengthening the competitiveness of the national logistics chain.
