The director-president of the Regulatory Agency of the Granted Public Services of the State of Amazonas (Arsam), Acram Jr, the Geodiversity Commission of the State Legislative Assembly (ALE-AM) and representatives of businessmen from Amazonas were received by the counselor of the Brazilian Embassy in Ecuador, Evandro Araújo, to attest the viability of the Manta-Manaus project, a proposal that aims to improve trade relations in South America and that could shorten, in more than 20 days, the bilateral trade between Brazil and Ecuador, through the Amazon waterways.
The multimodal route is a concrete alternative, faster for the transportation of Brazilian goods and comprises the stretch from the port city of Manta, in Ecuador, to the Amazon, a strategic project that may increase trade via waterways, speeding up the arrival of products from the metal-mechanic industry to the northern and northeastern states of Brazil. A new vector of economic development for the Manaus Free Trade Zone.
In this sense, Amazonas is being seen as the only state with real possibilities of socio-economic growth in this sector and Arsam will contribute with legal support in the elaboration of the legislation that will be able to guide this great business opportunity.
