This study analyzes the best warehousing location for sugar
exportation in the state of Sao Paulo using the railway transportation.
A mixed integer programming model was developed and its results indicate
some trends for localization and capacity of these warehouses. Four
scenarios were elaborated and they showed high competitiveness of the
intermodal transport compared to the alternative of road transportation
from the mill to the port. It was also confirmed that there is a possibility
to increase the market share of the railway transportation for Sao Paulo’s
sugar exports.
