Besides the truck drivers, the agribusiness also stood against the measure. To Director of the Agribusiness Department of Fiesp and President of Sindirações, Roberto Betancourt, the freight tariffs would raise the logistic cost of agribusiness.
To the Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA), with the values previously approved, the cost of freight of agricultural products would rise from 51% to 152% in the case of grain transportation. The entity said it sent a letter to President Michel Temer asking for the suspension of the announced table.
