O ciclo da safra 2022-23 no Brasil registrou produção recorde de soja e milho, o que poderia estimular valores de frete também elevados, em função de uma maior demanda pelo serviço de transporte. Entretanto, com os baixos preços das commodities, a comercialização da safra foi lenta, levando a um escoamento mais vagaroso.

O repórter sênior da publicação Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizantes, João Petrini, e o chefe adjunto de redação da Argus no Brasil, Conrado Mazzoni, conversam sobre este cenário e as particularidades observadas no comportamento dos fretes de grãos ao longo da safra 2022-23.

Os custos logísticos representam uma parcela considerável na conta das distribuidoras de combustíveis, que dependem muito do modal rodoviário para movimentar seus produtos em todo o Brasil. Com o encarecimento do diesel B na bomba e grandes variações regionais de preços e de disponibilidade de produto, distribuidoras e transportadores enfrentam desafios constantes para mobilizar suas frotas de maneira eficiente. O mês de agosto foi particularmente agitado, com um aumento do custo do combustível e um cenário de restrição na oferta de diesel, que impulsionou o custo do frete rodoviário, principalmente na região Sudeste, onde a alta ultrapassou 20%, segundo um levantamento da Argus.

Junte-se a Amance Boutin, editor da publicação Argus Brasil Combustíveis, e Conrado Mazzoni, chefe de redação adjunto da Argus, para saber mais sobre este tema.

The Brazilian region commonly known as Matopiba registered an impressive boost of soybean productions between the 2012-13 and 2022-23 crops, becoming a new important producing oilseed hub for the country. But the next 2023-24 cycle could be challenging for the region’s soy crop and interrupt the series of successive production records registered over the past few seasons.

Join Camila Dias, Argus Brazil Country Manager, and Nathalia Giannetti, reporter for the Argus Brazil Grains and Fertilizer publication, as they talk about what led to the expansion of Matopiba’s soybean crop and what can be expected for the 2023-24 season. 

The Brazilian region known as Matopiba experienced impressive increases in soybean production between the 2012-13 and 2022-23 harvests, becoming seen as a new important oilseed producing hub in the country. However, the 2023-24 cycle could be challenging for culture in the region and interrupt the series of successive records recorded over recent seasons.

Join Camila Dias, director of Argus in Brazil, and Nathalia Giannetti, reporter for the publication Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizandos. They talk about what factors led to the expansion of soybean cultivation in Matopiba and what we can expect for the 2023-24 harvest.
