The bean market is currently experiencing a decrease in prices due to reduced demand and the anticipation of the harvest. The price of carioca beans in São Paulo has dropped by 4%, averaging at R$260.58, while in Goiás, beans of grade 8 have seen a 3.9% increase, priced at R$210.39. Buyers, including supermarket chains, are delaying their purchases in hopes of further price drops. This cautious approach has led to a slowdown in traditional purchases, sparking concerns about consumer behavior and the economy. The fluctuating demand is causing tension between packers and producers.
