An Argentinian consortium is to invest $58 million in a new grain and oils terminal in the port of Quequén. The consortium, which is headed by Pyme, is to build a grain silo in the port, which will be available to third parties. Two other publicly accessible grain silos also exist in the same area: at Quequén and Bahía Blanca, but these belong to Nacional de Granos.
Once in operation, the new silo will double existing capacity in the port.
In 2012, Quequén beat all existing traffic records and is now in the tender process involving dredging work costing $30 million.
