MT producers will request reinforcement in corn stocks

The Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of Mato Grosso (Famato) and the Association of Mato Grosso Pig Breeders (Acrismat) will request the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) to strengthen the corn stock regulator in the state to two million t. Currently there are 600 000 tonnes in stock, according to the National Supply Company (Conab), which may not be sufficient to supply domestic demand, mainly from pig farmers. The measure will be requested in August.

Because of the good price, with the bag is being sold at an average of R $ 21.40 in the state this week and trades that have reached 69.5%, according to the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (IMEA), the record crop of 14.2 million tonnes may not be sufficient to meet domestic demand. As president of the Famato, Rui Prado, producers fear that lack corn to feed the pig and poultry Mato Grosso. "With the evolution of the price of cereal, with low inventories, there is no way to balance the market. So we understand it is necessary to seek the strengthening of the inventory map," says Prado.

The executive director of Acrismat, Custodio Rodrigues explains that the current crisis facing the sector due to the Russian embargo on Brazilian pork, which has lasted one year, could further aggravate if you lose corn - Main swine feeding. "We need to ensure that there is inventory to meet our demand. Otherwise our crisis is getting worse," says Custodio.
