February began with an apparent buoyancy in the market. In São Paulo farms, despite the drop in prices in the weekly comparison, of 1.4%, the last few days have shown recovery. This is because there is an expectation of an improvement in sales in the coming days, with the population's salaries coming into circulation. Currently, barley is quoted, on average, at R$68.00 per arroba. In wholesale, the enthusiasm came first, with retailers showing more interest in stocking up, which contributed to price appreciation. The carcass price went from R$5.20 per kilo to the current R$5.55 per kilo, an increase of 6.7% in seven days. In the short term, sales are expected to increase, which should support prices. In the foreign market, according to the Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex), shipments of fresh meat in January totaled 41.9 thousand tons, a decrease of 12.4% compared to last December and a reduction of 7.9% compared to the same period last year.
