While much of the global focus remains on the $100 oil barrier and cooling growth in the West, Rhenus Logistics has revealed a record-breaking performance in the Asia\u2013Latin America (LATAM) corridor for the 2024\u20132025 period. By handling over 170,000 TEUs, Rhenus has climbed into the Top 3 logistics providers for this specific trade lane, a strategic pivot that bypasses traditional Western bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Malaysian Business<\/em> reader, Rhenus\u2019 performance is a case study in “South-South” trade resilience, where Asian suppliers are increasingly looking to Latin America as a critical growth engine to offset the 3.1% global growth slowdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rhenus\u2019 success is not just in volume but in market capture. The company has secured the No. 1 ranking in Far East inbound flows for three critical South American markets: Argentina, Colombia, and Paraguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The move to strengthen the Asia\u2013LATAM corridor is a hedge against shifting global trade dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rise in Asia\u2013LATAM trade mirrors Malaysia\u2019s own export successes. As Malaysia reports RM68.52 billion in Halal exports for 2025\u2014anchored by F&B and palm oil\u2014the opening of more efficient logistics corridors to Latin America provides a new frontier for Malaysian manufacturers to scale beyond traditional markets like Singapore and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rhenus\u2019 dedicated Hong Kong hub is a signal to Asian exporters: the complexity of Latin American logistics can be solved through Origin Management<\/strong>. As Fadelly Duque<\/strong>, Head of Sales LATAM, noted, this isn’t just about shipping boxes; it’s about “anticipating global market needs”. For Malaysian businesses, utilizing these strengthened “Silk-South” corridors could be the key to maintaining a competitive edge as global supply chains continue to face Middle East-driven disruptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While much of the global focus remains on the $100 oil barrier and cooling growth in the West, Rhenus Logistics has revealed a record-breaking performance in the Asia\u2013Latin America (LATAM) corridor for the 2024\u20132025 period.
