Chinese contractors are now negotiating agreements with the states Goi&aacute;s, Mato Grosso and Rond&ocirc;nia, through which Brazilian credit bureau&nbsp;FICO would pass with a provisional start date of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian ministries are awaiting announcements from new president&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/brazil-prepares-to-roll-back-green-laws\/\">Michel Temer<\/a>&nbsp;on public spending.

Investments could take the form of a loan from China to Brazil. Another possibility&nbsp;could be a public-private partnership (PPP), which are increasingly common in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the project say they believe that&nbsp;partnerships between Chinese enterprises and&nbsp;local companies&nbsp;encourage regional development.<\/p>\n<p>According to Luiz Antonio Fayet, a consultant at the National Agricultural Confederation, the construction in 2014 of a new highway (route BR-163) in the midwest of Brazil has rendered the interoceanic railway uncompetitive.<\/p>\n<p>The highway is an&nbsp;attractive option for transporting&nbsp;products out of the country. The route sees good travel up&nbsp;to Brazil&#39;s&nbsp;northern city of Miritituba in Par&aacute; state, then along the Tapaj&oacute;s River to the port of Santar&eacute;m for shipping across the Pacific via the Panama Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It makes sense&nbsp;to move production through the north, and the most economical mode of transport is the waterway,&rdquo; said Rodrigo Koelle, South America transport director at logistics multinational Cargill, one of the world&rsquo;s largest exporters of soybeans and corn. Cargill has&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/why-are-chinese-agricultural-firms-so-active-in-latin-america-and-the-caribbean\/\">extensive operations<\/a>&nbsp;in Brazil, 80% of which go to China.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1b447552-e0ae-3246-bae6-e999e0e8ed3a\">But others disagree.<\/p>\n<p>According to CREEC&#39;s&nbsp;preliminary estimates, the transcontinental railroad could reduce the cost of exporting grain and minerals by US$ 30 per tonne compared to current routes. And once operational, the project could support a third of total exports from Brazil to China, some 35 million tonnes of soybeans, annually. No matter the size of the saving, it is unlikely that the local Amazon peoples will benefit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<span
