Chicken, Coffee, and Meats Register Declines in the Domestic Market After American Tariff, While Seafood Differs and Rises 2% in the Same Period.

Brazilian products affected by the 50% tariff imposed by the United States are already showing price declines within the country.

The survey by Scanntech indicates reductions in important food items, but experts remind that this price drop may be temporary. The analysis is by Victor Irajá for the Bastidores CNN.

Chicken had the largest reduction, with a drop of 5.7% between July and August.

Industry Less Confident

While food prices are declining, CNI alerts to the worsening confidence in the industrial sector.

The industrial entrepreneur confidence index fell from 50.2 points in June to 45.6 in August. Since the scale considers below 50 a signal of lack of confidence, the decline is noteworthy.

According to Marcelo Azevedo, economic analysis manager at CNI, exporting companies face a complicated scenario.

Previously, selling to foreign markets helped to offset weak domestic demand. Now, high interest rates and new American tariffs further reduce the possibilities for recovery.

Factors That Explain the Declines

Price variations reflect the domestic market’s capacity to absorb products.

This is because macroeconomic factors and the search for other export destinations weigh on the formation of values.

In addition, the possibility of stockpiling goods also directly influences price behavior.

Therefore, the price drop seen in chicken, coffee, and meats may be linked to this market adaptation.

Still, experts remind that external changes, such as tariffs and interest rates, can quickly alter this dynamic.

Factors That Explain the Declines

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

A Brazilian rode a motorcycle up to 5,000 meters of altitude in Peru to find the exact place where the world’s largest river originates, and what he found up there surprised even himself.

An engine that consumes 40% less gasoline than the average new car already exists and runs on 100% renewable fuel that costs only 10 cents more per liter at Repsol stations.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

Nuclear warship of over 100,000 tons returns to United States missions after 15 months of maintenance, with tests completed ahead of schedule, reinforced catapults, and the naval fleet under global pressure.

A panel that transforms water and sunlight into green hydrogen without using electricity is drawing attention for eliminating electrolyzers, reducing costly steps, and paving the way for clean fuel produced on-site.

A country that could lose almost all its territory to the advance of the sea by 2100 has already started creating new land on the ocean in a survival project that tries to guarantee housing, infrastructure, and the very continuity of the nation.

Paleontologists find in Brazil a bizarre 275-million-year-old animal with a twisted jaw, teeth turned sideways, and a lineage so ancient that it already seemed like a living fossil in its own time.

A sacred tree near an Indian temple holds up a multi-million dollar project at an international airport, delaying the use of an already completed taxiway and forcing authorities to wait for the monsoons to carry out the transplant.
