Going beyond blogs, whitepapers, webinars, infographics and other thought leadership, AMI is proud to announce a unique new podcast: LatAm Unboxed.
LatAm Unboxed will break new ground with its strategic focus on the Latin American logistics and industrial markets. Rather than cover logistics or industrial news, LatAm Unboxed will explain what events mean for companies to help them uncover opportunities, defend against threats, and handle new challenges.
Hosted by Diego Rodríguez, the director of AMI’s logistics practice, LatAm Unboxed will feature laser-focused looks at what’s happening in both the logistics and industrial spaces—and insights into how companies can handle developments as they arise.
In this first episode, Diego covers several important trends that will play out in 2026 and how logistics companies operating in Latin America should prepare, including:
- More traffic at Mexican ports as U.S. importers diversify from China, boosting west coast transshipment and intermodal.
- Nearshoring fuels Central American corridors, driving FTL/LTL demand to Guatemala and Honduras.
- Airfreight shifts from express to deferred as tariffs reshape cross-border e-commerce.
- Free trade zones gain appeal in Panama, Caucedo, Kingston, and beyond to cut delivery times and tariff risk.
- North American slowdown looms as a U.S. recession could dampen trade flows.
- Stricter cross-border e-commerce with the end of the U.S. de minimis threshold.
…along with several more key trends. Don’t miss this straightforward analysis of the challenges ahead, who will be affected and how they can get ready.
Hosted by Diego Rodríguez Paez, director of AMI’s logistics practice, LatAm Unboxed delivers you a quick, direct dive into logistics and industrial developments from an expert perspective. Diego’s work in overseeing over 150 market studies of all aspects of LatAm logistics has given him a deep understanding of market forces, industry challenges, regulatory changes and other currents producing constant change—as well as the strategic shifts companies can make in navigating those currents.
