The Brazilian carioca bean market is experiencing increased activity due to advance purchases ahead of the Black Consciousness Day holiday, with high-quality beans commanding up to R$280.00/bag. However, the market slowed down due to the holiday, with storage strategies being adopted in anticipation of future appreciation. Regional disparities in pricing were noted, with the dollar's appreciation favoring exports and potentially increasing the planting area for black beans. As of now, the domestic market remains weak with limited negotiations, and the industry is on the lookout for external stimuli and exchange rate fluctuations to drive future market dynamics.
