The Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA) wants the suspension of the new freight table, announced by the government this week. The entity filed on Thursday (6), in the Federal Supreme Court (STF), a precautionary measure to suspend the measure.
In a statement, the entity said it wants the suspension of the table until the judgment of the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 5959 is conducted by the STF. The rapporteur of the case is the minister Luiz Fux, who has not yet set a date for the trial.
According to the CNA, the new table brings increases from 3.15% to 6.82% for freight of general, bulk and refrigerated cargoes. At this rate, the Confederation estimates a 30% increase in cost with the 12-month tabulation.
Still according to the Confederation, for a route from Sorriso (MT) to the Port of Santos (SP), the freight with the first table of the government, of May 30, increased 51%. From the readjustment, the accumulated high is 57% when there is the return freight, ie the driver returns with the truck full.
Without the return freight, when the truck returns empty, the increase goes from 193% in the first table to an accumulated increase of 204% with the new prices.
