Throughout this week (30/10 to 03/11), carrot prices reduced 8.90% in São Gotardo (MG), with the “dirty” carrot being sold for an average of R$41.00/box of 29 kg . As predicted last week, the availability of roots is greater, given the intensified harvest of the period, which caused the devaluation. Furthermore, the retraction can also be explained by low demand, due to the national holiday yesterday, November 2nd (All Souls’ Day). On the other hand, the flow continues to be favored, mainly by Bahia, consumer of carrots from MG.
Furthermore, according to Hortifruti/Cepea employees, this week’s high temperatures and rains influenced the quality of the roots, which showed darkening and browning, but there have been no significant discards so far. According to Climatempo, it is possible that rain will continue (maximum 24 mm) until Friday 11/17.
