Palmer Prices Decline in Brazil: What’s Driving the Drop and What’s Next?
Recent reports indicate a consistent decline in Palmer mango prices in Brazil, particularly in the semi-arid regions of the Northeast and the São Francisco Valley (BA/PE). Between March 16th and 20th, Palmer prices experienced another reduction, continuing a trend that began in early February.
The Current Situation: A 45% Drop in Value
The accumulated price decrease in the São Francisco Valley since the first week of February has reached 45%. This week alone saw a 3% drop, bringing the price to R$ 1.54/kg. In Livramento de Nossa Senhora (BA), prices have fallen by 30% in the last week to R$ 1.11/kg, despite a more controlled supply compared to the São Francisco Valley.
Factors Contributing to the Price Decrease
According to collaborators at Hortifrúti/Cepea, insufficient export volume is a primary driver of the price decline. The inability to effectively export the mango harvest is leading to a buildup of supply in the domestic market. Demand for the fruit remains “poco aquecida” (little heated/weak) even in areas with more controlled supply, facing competition from fruit originating in the São Francisco region.
The Role of Exports and International Markets
The future price dynamics of Palmer mangoes hinge significantly on Brazil’s ability to increase exports, particularly to Europe. The capacity to effectively serve international markets will be a decisive factor in stabilizing prices and preventing further declines in the domestic market.
