Tridge summary

The Argentine government has temporarily halted meat exports for 30 days due to a surge in domestic beef prices, prompting agricultural organizations to halt cattle commercialization in protest. Meanwhile, Brazil's National Association of Cereal Exporters expects soybean shipments to reach a new high of 16.19 million tons in May. Additionally, Brazil's fruit exports have seen a significant increase in both volume and revenue, with Europe as the primary market. Unfortunately, the sugarcane harvest forecast for central-southern Brazil for the 2021/22 season is down by 4.6% due to drought and reduced planted area, marking the lowest harvest since the 2018/19 season. Lastly, the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has approved a parliamentary amendment to fund research into alternative proteins, focusing on seaweed cultivation in the Paraty region.
