Shipments of soy products from Paraná state increased by 8% in the first five months of the year.

The Conjunctural Bulletin of the Department of Rural Economy of Paraná (Deral), of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (Seab), released this Thursday (18), highlights the performance of the soybean complex (composed of grain, meal and oil), whose exports in the first five months of 2026 reached 6.72 million tons, registering an 8% growth in volume compared to the same period of 2025 (6.2 million tons). This significant movement accelerated the commercialization of the oilseed to free up space in warehouses for the corn crop. In financial terms, soybeans injected approximately US$ 2.94 billion into Paraná's trade balance, a significant increase of 18% compared to the previous year, with US$ 2.50 billion. According to Deral analyst Edmar Gervasio, the highlight was soybean oil, which reached 338 thousand tons exported, a significant growth of 59% in revenue. "Domestically, the performance is also positive. Exports of the soybean complex totaled 66.2 million tons, a growth of 7% in volume and 15% in value, totaling more than US$ 27 billion for the national trade balance."
