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.

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.
