Truck access at Brazil's Santos port limited after fuel tank fire

Truck access to the Port of Santos was further restricted early on Monday as a result of a fire that has raged for five days in a fuel depot near the port. While the restrictions are slowing new deliveries, they are not affecting export volumes of soybeans and other grains as the port has ample stocks. Santos handles a third of Brazil's soybean exports, half of its corn exports and much of the country's coffee and sugar shipments.
