Road freight rates for grains fell in most regions of Mato Grosso last week, according to monitoring by the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea). This trend was influenced by the lower availability of cargo destined for export, given the increased focus on the domestic market, while the supply of trucks remained high. In this context, freight rates from Campo Verde (MT) to Rondonópolis (MT) and from Querência (MT) to São Simão (GO) averaged R$ 94.08/t and R$ 235.36/t, respectively, representing decreases of 3.40% and 2.52%.
