Tridge summary

The CEAGESP price index reported a sharp decrease of 5.02% in March, primarily due to a significant drop in the prices of fruits and vegetables. The fruit sector experienced a 5.78% decline, with only a few items seeing price increases, while the vegetable sector fell by 7.98% and 12.87% in the previous sector. The miscellaneous sector and fish sector saw slight price increases. The first quarter of 2021 ended with an overall fall of 8.18% for the index, attributed to improved supply and quality, and reduced demand due to increased restrictions in São Paulo. This trend is expected to persist in April, despite potential challenges in fruit and vegetable production due to summer conditions.
