The Brazilian rice market presents distinct movements between the external and internal scenarios. While foreign trade gains strength, liquidity in the domestic market remains reduced, even in the face of the recent recovery of prices in Rio Grande do Sul. Despite the slight increase in quotations in Rio Grande do Sul, the pace of negotiations in the internal market continues slow. According to researchers at Cepea, the scenario is marked by a deadlock between producers and buyers. Producers maintain a cautious stance, focused on fieldwork and waiting for more attractive prices to advance in sales. Buyers, on the other hand, prioritize the acquisition of rice available in domestic stocks, given the uncertainties about the supply and prices of the raw material. The more defensive stance of both sides directly contributes to the low liquidity. While producers avoid negotiating at current price levels, buyers also adopt caution, reducing the volume of new business.
