But, it especifically contibutes to analyze the Middle-South transportation system to flow this production at that region. At first, it`s estimated the future sugar production. Then, it`s done the survey of the narrow places, analyzing the Brazilian capacity for that. As it has been growing, they work with a hypothetical future impossibility. The alternatives are detailed and the several costs calculated to identify the potential freight and load amount aimed to Middle-South and so the number of harbors.
