Wheat, fruit, cashew nuts, carnauba wax, textiles and petroleum products make up the cargo mix of Porto de Mucuripe, the port of Fortaleza in Ceará state. It is Brazil's leading wheat port, handling 1.03 million tonnes in 2023 — ahead of Santos — and a key reefer gateway for fruit grown in Ceará and the Petrolina-Juazeiro hub. Containers and general cargo move across multipurpose berths served by mobile harbour cranes, with around 500 reefer plugs and cold-storage rooms for customs inspection. Hinterland access is by road across Ceará; there is little freight rail. Throughput reached about 2.35 million tonnes in the first half of 2024. For deep-water industrial and larger container volumes, the nearby Pecém port is the alternative.
