The Port of Miami ranks as the largest container port in Florida and as one of the top 10 in the United States. Annually, around eight million tons (MT) of products move through the port, including fruits like melons, pineapple, bananas, blueberries, apples and kiwifruit.
With a US$2 billion investment plan, the port is implementing a number of projects to maintain its leadership position and offer improved service to clients from Latin America.
In an interview with www.freshfruitportal.com, the port’s Latin American development head, Sebastián Yavar, explained the infrastructure development plan that will allow for arrivals of bigger ship sizes following the expansion of the Panama Canal.
Plans also include transportation improvements with the objective of allowing fast access to the U.S. market. Of note, Florida is the fourth most populated state in the U.S., with almost 20 million inhabitants and a reported 80 million tourists a year.
