This study explores the potential impact of the establishment of a Romanian-Brazilian shipping company on facilitating emigration from Romania to Brazil and tacitly supporting the Latin eugenics project. Aside from reinterpreting some information known to researchers of Romanian-Brazilian relations, which was previously published in volumes subject to the rigors of communist historiography, we aim to shed light on new findings from Romanian archives. The processing of archival sources has allowed us to write a new chapter in the history of trade relations between Brazil and Romania. Long-distance trade is an efficient method of making profit, but not everyone can afford it. The question of a direct route between the ports of South America and the Black Sea was a pressing matter on the agenda of the governments in Rio de Janeiro and Bucharest during the interwar period. However, despite the lobby of the business community and diplomats of the two countries, the issue of implementing such a shipping line more often than not kept the Romanian Ministry of Finance's coffers mostly empty
