Harvesting delays in Brazilian soybean fields should continue, and the first volumes of the oilseed have no quality-control standards in the export market. Therefore, domestic shipments will be more intense and effective in the coming months. “These volumes can be used as a mixture to make bran in the national industry. This will not change much, as the foreign market focus is on the harvest as a whole”, says Vlamir Brandalizze. The problems remain punctual and concentrated in Brazil’s south region, namely in the state of Paraná. Excessive rainfall in the state has taken away part of the quality of soybeans and has also affected the pace of work. Thus, exports this year have not achieved an effective pace yet, according to data from Secex (Secretariat of Foreign Trade), due to the lack of product, shipments are slow in January – 49,500 tons only, over 1.4 million in the same month of 2020. In turns, for February, the Brazilian soybean lineup is close to 11 million tons.
