The moment is appreciation for soy and corn in Paraná. According to data from the Department of Rural Economy (Deral), in the case of soybeans, the recovery has reached 11% since the beginning of the year. For corn, the increase is 8%.
Deral’s director, Francisco Carlos Simioni, said that the producer has gone through a difficult period since the planting, with excessive rains, and summer with low incidence of light, which lengthened the development cycle of the plants. Even so, the soybean producer is harvesting with good productivity and now begins to benefit from excellent production and positive market.
Given this, the bag that was negotiated in January R $ 62,00 in January, is now in R $ 70.00.
Corn is also appreciating, although the bullish factor is more related to the domestic market, said Deral coach Edmar Gervásio. The Paraná producer was receiving R $ 22.14 a bag of 60 kg in January, and last week received an average of R $ 25.00 a bag.
