A
Demand for paddy rice was slightly higher in Rio Grande do Sul in the
last days. Industries from Rio Grande do Sul and other states sought to replace their
stocks and, in some cases, also increased purchase offers for
carry out new batches. Most producers, in turn, remain
retracted.
In that
scenario, according to data from Cepea, rice values continue to rise. A
weighted average of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, represented by the Indicator
CEPEA/IRGA-RS (58% of whole grains and cash payment), rose 1,72% among 15
and March 22, closing at R$ 76,42/50 kg bag on Tuesday, 22 – on
partial this month (until the 22nd), the Indicator accumulates an increase of 3,38%.
