Survey of private rice stocks begins next week

Starting this Friday (28), rice producers and storers in the states of Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina begin to receive access passwords to the Private Stock Research System (Sipesp). This is the first stage in the research into private rice stocks carried out by the National Supply Company (Conab). The system will open to begin the research next Monday (2), and the information must be filled in by March 22, with the stock position on February 29, 2020.

Those who are not registered with Sipesp and have not received access passwords can download the form Stock Survey Bulletin – Rice – 2020, available on the Company's website. With the information filled in, the document must be sent to the email contato-privado@conab.gov.br, respecting the research deadline.

Volumes must be reported separately, by storage unit, registered or not, and by type (husk or processed), without including stocks from the new harvest. Even if the producer or storer does not have stocks on the indicated reference date, the form must be completed. In addition to the product data, the storage segment and the characteristics of the units where the rice is preserved must also be informed.

It is worth mentioning that this year Conab implemented some improvements and simplifications in Sipesp, ranging from access to filling in data and the possibility of extracting what was reported to the system.

Carried out annually by Conab, the survey of private rice stocks contributes to government planning and the formulation of public policies to promote agricultural production and productivity and guarantee regular food supply. The survey is carried out in the states where most of the national production is concentrated.
