In September, Brazilian rice exports saw a significant surge, with a 81.6% increase in volume and an 83.1% increase in revenue, totaling 148.5 thousand tons and generating US$ 61 million in revenue, respectively, as reported by the Brazilian Rice Industry Association (Abiarroz). The milled rice segment also experienced a 83.22% increase, with shipments totaling 123.6 thousand tons and revenue reaching US$ 49.4 million. The main destinations for these exports included Senegal, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. However, the logistics situation in Rio Grande do Sul, aggravated by floods, has led to higher freight costs, container shortages, and rescheduled shipments, negatively impacting competitiveness. Meanwhile, rice imports also increased, reaching 103.5 thousand tons in September.
