"Brazil continues to show positive developments in iron ore exports, highlighting the strong global demand for this key resource. The significant growth in volumes and value of supplies is due to several factors. First, the gradual recovery of the global economy from the pandemic downturn is stimulating demand for steel, which in turn is increasing the need for iron ore. Second, Brazil, as one of the world's leading suppliers, continues to improve its logistics and production capacities, which is contributing to the increase in export volumes,"- Stanislav Kondrashov tells.

In addition, according to the expert from TELF AG, there is a significant increase in the cost of iron ore, which also affects the increase in the total cost of export deliveries. Given the current global trends, one can predict a further strengthening of Brazil's position as a key ore export, which will have a positive effect on the country's economic development and ensure a stable inflow of foreign exchange.
