Last week, road freight rates for grains showed balanced behavior, with averages remaining stable in most regions of Mato Grosso, according to monitoring by the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea). Higher demand on routes destined for the domestic market supported prices, while freight rates to ports registered lower shipment volumes and remained practically stable. In this scenario, the route from Sorriso (MT) to Santos (SP) was quoted at an average of R$ 522.62/t, with no weekly variation. The route from Canarana (MT) to Paranaguá (PR) showed a slight decrease of 0.03%, with an average price of R$ 454.88/t.
