After the export of 60,000 tons of huskless rice to Cuba last week, Federarroz announced it will ship to Costa Rica 20,000 metric tons of paddy rice. The deal was confirmed this week. Another deal was confirmed on Thursday, 23, of 30,000 tons of paddy rice to Venezuela. According to Alexandre Velho, the president of the company, this is another shipment celebrated by the rice sector. He also said he will help to support producer prices, especially for the next crop. “This is an important move that will bring security to the domestic market prices” he pointed out. Velho also said that, in addition to the deal confirmed with Costa Rica, Federarroz is working with other export possibilities, already envisioning the rice market for 2022.
