Until the 26th of this month, the National Supply Company (Conab) carries out inspection operations to inspect the conditions of the products stocked in its own Storage Units and also in third parties. The actions began on the 15th and will take place in 65 storage units in the states of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Paraná and São Paulo.
Among the main objectives of this operation are to determine the conditions of quality and quantity of the stocks and to evaluate the technical-operational situation of the warehouse storage units. In total, more than 770 thousand tons of products such as rice, coffee, corn, wheat, bagasse and various products benefited or manufactured will be inspected. This is the eighth stage of inspection of public stocks held by Conab in the country. Since the first stage, more than 3.4 million tons of products have been inspected.
After the steps, when possible deviations are found, in addition to the administrative processes, the cases are referred to the Federal Police, Federal Public Ministry, Federal Revenue and State Treasury Secretariat. In cases related to losses in own warehouses, they are passed on to the Superintendencies of Storage and Logistics of Conab for measures.
