In the decade of 1940, the companies Serrana and Quimbrasil, actual Bunge Fertilizantes, needed to transport the raw material produced in the mine of Cajati (SP) to its factories in São Caetano and Santo André, in the State of São Paulo. Since the roads were precarious, the solution was to create a maritime route. The phosphatic rock that came out from the mine of Cajatí, interior of São Paulo, was transported by land to Cananéia, on the southern shores of São Paulo. From the port of Cananéia, the cargo was towed to the port of Santos, and from that point the raw material was sent by train to the two factories. To perform this maritime trajectory, two ships were acquired, the Serranaum and the Serranadois and, in 1947, was created the Serrana Sociedade de Navegação that acted as cabotage shipping line. 3 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd.

These two initiatives made the sea transports obsolete, but Bunge strenghtened itself in the international trade, leaning on Serrana for the forwarding and navigating services, opening a new market for the company. The increase of imports by the Grupo Industrial Santista generated a demand for services of loading and unloading of ships and customs clearance of the products that were off-loaded in the port of Santos, this being also supplied by the Serrana Sociedade de Agenciamento e Navegação. On the other hand, Quimbrasil was one of the biggest exporters that utilized the port of Santos making partnerships with other companies to charter bigger ships, and so lowering the costs of the raw material. The increase of these tasks made Quimbrasil transfer this activity to the then Serrana Sociedade de Agenciamento, Navegação e Representação. The Seventies On October 1971, Serrana Agenciamento (90%) and Quimbrasil (10%) due to administrative reasons changed their corporate name to Fertimport Transportadora e Comissária de Despachos Ltda (Fertimport Transporter and Forwarding Agents Ltd.).This period was characterized by a strong increase in activities, including the expansion of partnerships and service to third parts. 4 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd. São Luis – São Paulo – SP – Cep.: 05804-900 e-mail: centro.memoria@bunge.com / Tel.: 3741-6718 So, in the decade of 1970, Serrana expanded its installations in order to attend the companies of the Santista Group and third parties, inaugurating branches in the ports of Recife (PE), Porto Alegre and Rio Grande (RS), Paranaguá (PR) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). In 1975, exploiting the experience accumulated with the activities developed at Bunge, Fertimport started to offer its services to other companies. The Eighties The relationships developed between Fertimport and the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines stand out.Trade agreeements were implemented because Iran was giving preference to developing countries, such as Brazil, to realize their acquisitions. In June 06, 1983, Brazilian exporters met with delegates of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shopping Lines, in the Cenesp - Centro Empresarial de São Paulo, in the city of São Paulo in a meeting promoted by Fertimport. In the next year, the president of the Iranian company, Mohammad Souri visited the headquarters of Fertimport in São Paulo consolidating the partnership. number of business between the two countries. In June of 1985 a huge meeting was held. To mark the first cargo of potassium chloride from the company Amax Chemical arriving in Brazil, Fertimport promoted a reception to the Brazilian importers of the product. The event was promoted together with Amax and Potafertz Fertilizantes, on board of the ship Aliakmon, in the port of Santos (SP). In the decade of 1980, Fertimport also was an agent for big companies and coordinated huge unloadings. In 1983, Fertimportwas the agent for the ship OlgaTopic that brought the biggest cargo of sulphur ever imported to Brazil.In 1983, Fertimport Transportadora e Comissária de Despachos put on the 5 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd. São Luis – São Paulo – SP – Cep.: 05804-900 e-mail: centro.memoria@bunge.com / Tel.: 3741-6718 Argentinian1 market a bulk of 5 thousand tons of high concentrated binary fertilizer (DAP) produced by Fertisul. The first experience of unloading bulk sodium sulphate in Brazil was made in February 1984 in the port of Santos (SP). This action had the participation of Fertimport together with the Mexican export groups Peñoles and the associates Quirey. With this, the imports that had been made traditionally in small allotments, with a bagged product, became more spaced. Still in 1984, one of the biggest private shipping lines of Brazil, the Frota Oceânica Brasileira S.A. became forwarded in the Port of Santos (SP). In 1985, representatives of the company visited Fertimport in Santos to discuss issues of mutual concern and strengthen the relationship2. In 1985, Fertimport also was an agent for two new bulk carriers of the Cia. de Navegação Lloyd Brasileiro.The vessel Rio Trombetas coming from the USA, was the first to enter the port of Santos carrying 35 thousand tons of wheat in bulk, then came the vessel Rio Jaguaribe II. This navigating and operating system was considered one of the most modern for that time. Fertimport also made research in the structure of routes. In April 1985, Carlo Lovatelli (Santista Trading), Alberto Oppenheimmer (Sanbra), Maurice V. Rousso and Antônio Carlos Branco (Fertimport) visited the installations of the railway/port complex of Tubarão (SC) and Praia Mole (SC) and the port of Vitória (ES) to check the conditions for the shipment of cereals produced in the Cerrado (grasslands), which up to then were made only through the export corridor of the quay of Capuaba in the port of Vitória. This visit had the objective to know the existing plans and ongoing studies for the future handling of cereals through the installations of Tubarão. 1 The national fertilizer industry started to export due to the program for substitution of imports developed since 1974. 2 Source: Revista Santista nº07 – June 85. 6 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd. São Luis – São Paulo – SP – Cep.: 05804-900 e-mail: centro.memoria@bunge.com / Tel.: 3741-6718 Thinking about the expansion of its business in March 1986, Fertimport started to operate the new branch installed in Paranaguá (PR) acting in a diversified manner, operating with fertilizers, cereals and phosphate rock. In the same year it entered into airfreight forwarding in the airports of Cumbica and Viracopos. It also was active in overland transport sevices in Uberaba (MG), Santos (SP), and Santo André (SP). In the decade of 1980 it also started to build a terminal specialized in the storage of grains and fertilizers in the precinct of the Alemoa, in Santos (SP). In that city, besides the developed activities it also represented the Vera Cruz Seguradora (insurers) in the follow-up of cargo handling insured by that company. It also had exclusivity in the operations of salt transport, imported wheat and fertilizers. Due to the significance of activities in that port, in 1987 ocurred the transfer of the commercial, administrative and operational headquarters from São Paulo to Santos, in order to be closer to the center of port activities. In this decade, Fertimport was widely recognized in its branch of activity. In 1985 the company stood out in the press for its navigation (by satellite) and operating systems. In 1987, Fertimport was also considered one of the 15 biggest companies in the sector, among the 400 existing in the country. By the end of the decade, structural changes happened in the port sector. In 1988, the Management of International Trade and Port Services3 was split into four areas. Foreign Trade (in which the Santista Comércio Internacional e Serviços was active); Port Services (which comprehended Fertimport) Import and Export (Impex); and Finance and Administration which gave support to the two divisions. 3 The division of Port Services had as its main activities: the charter and agency of ships, freight and cargo brokerage, sea anda ir customs clearance of import and export, stowage and unstowage, warehaousing and transport by road. 7 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd. São Luis – São Paulo – SP – Cep.: 05804-900 e-mail: centro.memoria@bunge.com / Tel.: 3741-6718 The Nineties In the decade of the nineties the activities of Fertimport were expanded, her corporate name was changed to Fertimport S.A., with its main shareholder being the Santista Alimentos S.A. To attend the new expansion strategy, ampliations and changes were made in its infrastructure. The branch of Fertiport in Recife (PE) was inaugurated in 1994. The strenghtening of the company in the capital of Pernambuco occurred due to the incorporation of the agency Navegação e Comércio Guararapes Ltda., which provided service to the company as a port operator and operator of attendance to ships. In 1995 were initiated the activities of the branch of Fertimport in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) to attend the Brazilian shipowner Norsul in its line between Brazil and the Far East. Several meaningful facts happened in 1996. In October ocurred an important initiative in the area of customs clearance with the customs authorities, that allowed to revert procedures that were jeopardizing the import of grains through the port of Santos (SP). In December, Fertimport started to work for the first time as a maritime agent of a passenger ship: the vessel Monterey from the Mediterranean Shipping Cruises line. In this same year it started to manage the grain charge and discharge terminal of the port of Porto Alegre (RS) and also was an agent in the transport of giant tubes for the underwater outfall of Guarujá (SP). Due to all these innovating actions that ocurred in 1996, the company made revenues of 13 million Reais with the handling of more than 6 million tons of bulk cargo, appproximately 8 thousand customs clearance procedures and about a 100 chartered ships. The company also was recognized and awarded with quality certificates. By the end of 1996, Fertimport obtained the ISO 9002 certification, becoming the first maritime agency and logistics company in Brazil to receive this qualification in charter services. 8 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd. São Luis – São Paulo – SP – Cep.: 05804-900 e-mail: centro.memoria@bunge.com / Tel.: 3741-6718 In January 1998, the services of Port Operator and Maritime Agents achieved the ISO 9002 certification. In June, Fertimport obtained the recommendation for the expansion of its ISO 9002 certificate. This time three more services were audited: Management of Import Processes, Clearance of Airway Imports and External Representations. With this one more achievement, Fertimport became the firts Brazilian company in the sector to possess the certification for the whole international logistics service cycle. Thinking in modernizing its relationship with its clients, in 1997 was launched the website of Fertimport. Already in 1999 was launched the new site with the novelty of the service “Escalas-Liner” (Liner-Schedule), that presented the always updated programmation of the ships represented by the company. By the end of the decade of the nineties, Fertimport continued to expand and diversify its field of activities. In January 1999, Bunge Limited, the holding of the agribusiness activities of the Bunge Group, became the main shareholder of Fertimport. Which strenghtened the company´s position in the logistics of international trade, important for the trading of grains. Still in 1999, it took over the management of the fertilizer terminal of Conceiçãozinha(Tefer) of the port of Santos, accredited bgy the Cia. Docas do Estado de São Paulo S/A (Codesp).In October it broke the record by being the agent for the unloading of 12.610 tons of sulphur through this terminal,in an operation that lasted only 24 hours. The years of 2000 In 2000 was held the e-future, a meeting with the main managers of Fertimport for the analysis of present and future businesses of the 9 Centro de Memória Bunge Av.: Maria Coelho Aguiar, 215 Bloco D 5ºandar Centro Empresarial de São Paulo – Jd.

The event was held at the Fenac, in Novo Hamburgo (RS) simultaneously with the International Congress of Multilogistics in Foreign Trade. In this beginning of the millenium, the company maintained a full expansion. In 2000 it chartered more than 80 grain bulk vessels, totalizing 1,6 million tons of wheat and 610 000 tons of fertilizers and sulphur. Waging on diversification for the expansion of the branch of its activities, Fertimport waged on the liner sector through the representation of huge lines.The branch of Fertimport in São Francisco do Sul (SC) started its operations in the sector of maritime agents.IN 2001, Fertimport took over the operations of the Austral Agência Maritima, and installed itself in the port complex of Espirito Santo, one of the most important in Brazil. Still in 2001 it inaugurated the branch of Sepetiba (RJ) and the units of Fertimport in Argentina (Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca and San Lorenzo). In September, Fertimport inaugurated the new headquarters of the company in Rio Grande (RS) to increase its participation on the Brazilian market and in the Mercosul. In 2002, through the headquarters in Argentina, it acted as an agent for the ship that charted the maritime seafloor of that country, following a request from the ONU. “The results of the research allowe the Argentinian government to plead for an expansion of its territorial waters” Still in 2002, it became the general agent in Brazil for Stolt-Nielsen, one of the biggest shipping companies of the world, after a tender with six more companies. The contract, signed on November 20, established the attendance of the Stolt ships in all ports of the country. In the same year it attended the passenger ship Island Escape (that was making short cruises) confirming the disposition of the company to expand actions in the area of shipping agents.

In 2007 was inaugurated the project for the modernization of the installations of the Maritime Terminal of Guarujá ( Termag), a result from the partnership of Fertimport with the América Latina Logística (ALL) and Bunge Fertilizantes. Together with the Grain Terminal of Guarujá (TGG), Termag formed a complex that“makes plausible a broadly defended action, based on the sinergy between unloading of inputs and fertilizers that come from abroad, and the shipping of the soy reserved for export: now we are in front of an integrated system of logistics in which railway waggons will transport soy and bran, mainly from the Center-West, to the TGG, and will be loaded on the Termag with fertilizers and sulphur whose destination is the very same region”, according to Carlos Branco, then CEO of Fertimport. This project had an investment of 440 million Reais and handled about 5 million tons per year of soy and derivates. On January 27, 2010, Bunge formalized the sale of its business of nutrients in Brazil to the Vale do Rio Doce, one of the biggest mining companies of the world.
