The carioca bean market is currently stagnant due to a standoff between producers and buyers, with sales significantly decreasing in states such as São Paulo, Mato Grosso, and Bahia. Buyers are proposing prices between R$280 and R$290 for freshly harvested beans, but producers are taking a wait-and-see approach, unwilling to sell until more favorable supply conditions present themselves. The potential for rainy weather affecting harvests is also contributing to the market's uncertainty. Meanwhile, exporters are showing interest in fixed-price production contracts for various bean types, which could provide producers with a secure market and financial security.
