According to the coordinator of the Economics, Studies and Research Unit at Fiems, Ezequiel Resende, this was the best result for the month of January in the historical series of industrial exports in the state. “As for the relative share exported by the State, the industry accounted for 92% of all revenue obtained from foreign sales by Mato Grosso do Sul”, he informed.
The main highlights were the groups “Pulp and Paper”, “Refrigerator Complex”, “Mineral Extractive”, “Steel and Basic Metallurgy” and “Leathers and Skins”. “The products produced by these groups, together, represented 97% of the total revenue from the South Mato Grosso do Sul industrial products sales abroad”, completed Ezequiel Resende.
Breakdown by groups
The “Cellulose and Paper” group recorded revenues of US$ 185,46 million, an increase of 41%, which were obtained only from the sale of pulp (US$ 182,43 million), with China as the main buyers, with US$ 82,89 million, the Netherlands with US$ 25,33 million, Italy with US$ 18,95 million, the United States with US$ 18,85 million and Spain with US$ 10,05 million.

In 2018, exports from this sector (Paper, Pulp and Wood) totaled US$ 14,2 billion, 23% more than in 2017. The difference for meat exports was small and the volume and price of pulp determined the advance of the forest products”, analyzed Ezequiel Resende.
In the “Refrigerator Complex” group, revenue achieved in January was US$ 68,95 million, a reduction of 17% compared to the same period last year, with 40% of the total achieved coming from boneless frozen beef. , which totaled US$ 27,57 million, with the main buyers being Hong Kong, with US$ 11,63 million, Chile, with US$ 9,51 million, the United Arab Emirates, with US$ 7,70 million, China, with US$ 4,45 million, and Saudi Arabia, with US$ 3,83 million.

Since Carne Fraca, Saudi Arabia has also stopped enabling meatpacking plants in Brazil through the pre-listing system, through which establishments are authorized to export by sampling, without having to inspect all factories interested in exporting”, highlighted the economist.
Other groups
For the “Vegetable Oils” group, revenue reached US$ 20,97 million in January, an increase of 171% compared to the same period in 2018, with an emphasis on flours and pellets, which totaled US$ 20,91 million, with the main buyers being the United Kingdom, with US$ 10,58 million, Poland, with US$ 8,26 million, Indonesia, with US$ 2,02 million, Romania, with US$ 62, and Uruguay, with US$ 23,5 thousand
“In 2019, the supply of soybean meal should decrease in Brazil and the expectation is that 32,6 million tons will be produced, that is, 0,6% less than in 2018. In demand, the situation is opposite with forecast of an increase of 0,6% in domestic consumption and 1,9% in exports. Despite lower production and higher demand, carry-over stocks should be higher, due to higher opening stocks”, pointed out Ezequiel Resende.
In the “Steel and Basic Metallurgy” group, exports totaled US$ 10,80 million, an increase of 818% compared to January 2018, with emphasis on unalloyed raw cast iron, which totaled US$ 10,29 million, having as the main buyers, Italy, with US$ 10,29 million, Paraguay, with US$ 310,5, Bolivia, with US$ 159,8, the United States, with US$ 32,1, and Chile, with US$ $5,3 thousand.
