The Argentine agro-industry could add one of the most ambitious logistical developments in recent years. Molinos Agro, the agro-industrial arm of the Pérez Companc group, presented a preliminary project to build a gigantic port and industrial complex in Timbúes, Santa Fe province, with an estimated investment of USD 800 million.
The venture has already taken a key step after the local commune approved Ordinance 051/2026, enabling the change of land use and the creation of a “Special Port Subdistrict.” Local government described the initiative as a “world-class” project, capable of transforming the productive and logistical profile of the region.
The projected complex would have unprecedented dimensions even for Greater Rosario, the area that concentrates the largest soybean processing capacity on the planet. The plan includes three milling lines with capacities ranging from 12,000 to 15,000 tons per day each, in addition to a storage system for approximately one million tons of grains and by-products.
The infrastructure would include two docks suitable for Panamax and Neopanamax vessels, a third dock for barges, and a 55-megawatt cogeneration power plant intended to supply the industrial operations. There is also a plan for a water and effluent treatment plant to integrate the entire production system into the Paraná River port corridor.
