Overview

Planting for the 23/24 harvest is currently underway, with between 30 and 40% planted. The weather has been good so far, despite some late rain. Brazil appears to be dealing relatively well with delayed plantings, at least until November.

This development caused some concern among producers who held agricultural stocks, as a result of which prices fell slightly. Some shellers are purchasing farmer stocks to fulfill their contracts.

Peanut exports decreased and oil exports increased, compared to August figures.

 With the presence of offers from China and India on the market, prices will fall, at least for now, mainly for Russia, Algeria and other “less strict” markets, when compared to the EU.

Peanut exports during September were 26,620 MTs, a decrease of 23% compared to August, and a decrease of 8,8% compared to September 22.

At the same time, during last year, we saw a peanut export increase, from 24,000 to 29,000.

Even so, this calendar year still adds up to 223,070 MT, an increase of 8.14% compared to last year.

Com o problema da estiagem sobre a Safra do amendoim, Abex-BR pede auxílio ao Governador de SP
Por Alessandra Mota 24 de abril de 2024
ABEX-BR NA MÍDIA Veja o que diz Luiz Antônio Vizeu, coordenador do Núcleo de Promoção e Pesquisa (NPP) da Abex-Br , em entrevista ao Canal AgroMais, sobre os efeitos do El Nino na safra 2024 do amendoim brasileiro.

Caro leitor, não tivemos um relatório de fevereiro, devido a ajustes nas datas de publicação para estarmos mais atualizados com as informações de exportação. Outro detalhe, como temos pouquíssimas informações sobre exportações em 2024, vou analisar abaixo as exportações do ano-safra. Visão geral Desde meados de fevereiro, a colheita começou na maioria das regiões, embora com volumes muito modestos. Os primeiros plantios, que suportaram períodos prolongados de seca, têm apresentado resultados decepcionantes em termos de produtividade e qualidade, particularmente no que diz respeito aos níveis de aflatoxinas. Áreas como Médio Tietê e Alta Paulista parecem ter se saído pior que a Mogiana, embora o desempenho deste também não tenha sido bom. As chuvas recentes complicaram o processo de colheita para os primeiros produtores, mas trouxeram alívio para os produtores tardios que ainda aguardam a maturação e precisam de umidade. É amplamente aceito que a maior parte da colheita, cerca de 80%, ocorrerá em março e abril, oferecendo uma imagem mais clara do resultado real da safra. Com indícios de uma safra abaixo da média, os produtores têm resistido a reduzir os preços da matéria-prima, contrariando as expectativas entre os beneficiadores no início da safra. Isso tem levantado preocupações, especialmente considerando a relutância da Rússia em atender aos preços que permitiriam aos exportadores adquirir a matéria-prima, dada sua parcela significativa das exportações brasileiras. O mercado da UE apresenta uma perspectiva mais promissora, uma vez que os exportadores são capazes de obter preços consideravelmente mais elevados, especialmente durante os períodos em que a Argentina a, a dificuldade aqui para os exportadores é encontrar matéria-prima com a qualidade necessária para a UE. Finalmente, a viabilidade do mercado de óleo de amendoim permanece limitada por preços persistentemente baixos, limitando seu potencial como um consumidor significativo de matéria-prima, como observado no passado. Espero que esta informação seja útil para você. Atenciosamente.

Dear reader, We haven’t had a February report, due to adjustment in dates of publishing in order to be more updated with the export information. Another detail, as we have very few information on exports in 2024, I will analyze below the exports of the crop year. Overview Since mid-February, harvesting has commenced in most regions, although with very modest volumes. Early plantings, which endured prolonged periods of drought, have yielded disappointing results in terms of both productivity and quality, particularly concerning aflatoxin levels. Areas like Middle Tiete and Alta Paulista appear to have fared worse than Mogiana, although this one’s performance was not good either. Recent rainfall has complicated the harvesting process for early growers but brought relief to late growers still awaiting maturation and requiring moisture. It's widely agreed that the bulk of the harvest, roughly 80%, will occur in March and April, offering a clearer picture of the crop's actual outcome. With indications of a subpar crop, growers have resisted reducing raw material prices, contrary to expectations among shellers at the beginning of the crop. This has raised concerns, especially considering Russia's reluctance to meet prices that would enable shellers to procure the raw material, given its significant share of Brazilian exports. The EU market presents a more promising prospect, as shellers are able to command considerably higher prices, particularly during periods when Argentina will not be able to supply yet, the difficulty here for the exporters is finding raw material with the needed quality to the EU. Finally, the viability of the peanut oil market remains constrained by persistently low prices, limiting its potential as a significant consumer of raw material, as observed in the past. Tables, charts and analyzes below. I hope this information is useful for you. Best regards,

Overview With the final stages of the crop incoming, Mogiana region has had 20 days of good weather and don’t expect to see any huge drop in productivity compared to last crop. A 10-15% drop is mentioned as possible, besides more problems with aflatoxin compared to last year, all this due to the dry and high temperature periods in the early stages. Recent reports from Alta Paulista show that the situation there has improved with the latest rains, the peanuts planted earlier will suffer more, but the ones delayed will not suffer so much. December figures expose a considerable decrease in peanut exports, already expected as stocks grow shorter. Besides an 14% increase in oil exports. Tables, charts and analyzes below:
