On Tuesday, the business carried out with white and red eggs failed to sustain and suffered another setback. In white eggs, the drop occurred – 1st of the week; 2nd of the month, 30th of the year – dropped the average daily box price to R$80.00, a value slightly below that practiced at the beginning of the month and 3.6% lower than the same period in August last year.
In red eggs, the drop was slightly greater than that seen in white eggs, with a difference of R$2.00 to R$5.00 more per box. As a result, they were sold for a minimum of R$81.00 to a maximum of R$86.00 per box, equivalent to a negative annual index of 0.6%.
According to Jox Assessoria Agropecuária, the growth in offers is evident and, as a result, sales are competitive at retail. With the need to carry out promotions to increase the flow of merchandise, the pressure for better marketing conditions has predominated. Therefore, the market must be well contested and can once again influence prices.
For now, the average price throughout August is 5.9% below that reached in the same period last year. Year-to-date, although it has been falling uninterruptedly, it is still positive at 6.5%.
