A key agricultural area of Brazil could face months of difficulties exporting its products after severe flooding destroyed vital equipment at the country’s second-busiest container port.

The Port of Itajai is the gateway for key agricultural areas in Brazil’s southern Santa Catarina state, a big exporter of meat products such as frozen chicken. The floods killed at least 100 people, according to Reuters reports, after the River Itajai rose eight metres following heavy rain over the weekend.
