Some Brazilian farmers have resorted to tactics to restrain sales of soybeans due to low prices for oilseeds in the domestic market, said José Aroldo Gallassini, chairman of the board of the largest national farmers’ cooperative Coamo reported by Reuters.
According to him, such actions of farmers only led to a shortage of premises for storing raw materials, which forced the Coamo cooperative to rent additional tanks and increase the use of so-called “silo bags”

In 2022, agricultural organizations located in the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso do Sul and part of Coamo managed to collect almost 7.5 million tons of soybeans and corn. This is approximately 2.8% of the total production of these crops in Brazil.
At the moment, the country is the largest soybean producer in the world.
