Road freight rates for grains rise in Mato Grosso.

Road freight rates for grains increased at the close of last week, on June 26th, on most routes in Mato Grosso, according to monitoring by the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea). This movement was driven by the increased volume of grains transported and the lower availability of trucks, as part of the fleet remains in field operations. With the limited supply of vehicles and the higher demand for transport, freight rates continued to rise. Therefore, the route originating in Campo Verde (MT) and destined for Santos (SP), and from Canarana (MT) to São Simão (GO), were quoted, on average, at R$ 430.00/t and R$ 230.00/t, showing increases of 2.38% and 2.22%, respectively.
