Bean burst index of the gondolas was 16.6% in July

Last month, retailers had trouble buying beans due to restricted supply. And the fear with weak demand also led retailers to reduce purchases. Agentrics data/Nielsen, collected in more than 10000 stores around the Country, indicate that the "break" the beans on supermarket shelves was 16.6% in July, much higher than the historical average of 4%. This means that every 100 items found by the consumer on the gondolas, the bean represented 16.6 last month.
"In the face of economic instability and high prices, retail is more cautious when purchasing the product, I''m afraid there is no consumption. Thus, the product ends up missing from the shelves, "said Robson Munhoz, Director of retail and industry relationship of Agentrics. In this context, the stocks in supermarkets are increasingly restricted
In July, calculates the Agentrics, stocks were sufficient to 31.13 days of consumption. In may, when the offer of second harvest increased, were 177.16 days. Even so, the average of 2016 is in 65.6 days.
After the first and second crops of beans have decreased 8.8% and 24.1% compared to the season 2014/15, respectively, the third harvest, now underway, should reach 628,300 tons, a 26.1% drop on the same comparison, according to estimates from Conab (national supply company).
Truce in high price after rising about 150% of domestic retail, dominate social networks and become subject in bar, the bean has finally begun to show signs that his ascent has cooled down. That doesn''t mean, however, that the situation is back to normal. The relief comes from the market, from the end of July, the last of the three crops of legumes of the 2015/16 season.
In the first 10 days of August, the IGP-DI accused 10.1% fall in prices of legumes in the country. But the retraction may be short-lived, since the third harvest will also be small due to climate problems, as happened with the previous two. The question is how will the behavior of demand-that in July, before the high of 44.6% pointed to by the IGP-DI, have proved more standoffish.
