The Port of Wilmington has been an important gateway port and distribution center for chilled and frozen juice concentrates since the early 1980's.
In 1984, Citrosuco Paulista, one of Brazil's leading orange juice producers and shippers constructed a bulk orange juice off-loading and storage terminal at the Port of Wilmington. After further expansion in the early 1990's, Citrosuco's Wilmington facility became North America's largest bulk juice storage terminal with a total storage capacity of almost 6 million gallons. |
