Road freight rates for grains increased by 0.8% last week.

In the week ending last Friday (13), road freight rates for grains on routes monitored by DATAGRO They recorded an average of R$ 239.19/ton, a value 0.8% higher than the previous week and 10.0% higher compared to the same period last month. According to the consultancy's report, "the increase in rates reflects a market impacted by the progress of the 2025/26 grain harvest." Furthermore, the rise in freight costs is also due to new geopolitical events in the Middle East, which caused the price of oil on the international market to skyrocket last week, directly impacting fuel prices in Brazil.

DATAGRO It estimates the current Brazilian soybean harvest at 182.2 million tons and the corn harvest at 141.9 million tons.
