Brazilian soyabean exports in March are on track to hit a record 13.1 million tons, Lucas de Brito, an executive at the National Association of Cereal Exporters (Anec), told Reuters on Tuesday.
That would break the previous monthly record of around 12 million tons, de Brito said.
Anec figures released on Tuesday showed soyabean exports in the first four weeks of March totaled 11.5 million tons. Citing port data, Anec estimates further shipments of more than 1.6 million tons in the last three days of the month, which would bring the total to 13.1 million tons.
"If that schedule plays out, if the shipments are carried out it (total exports) will either exceed or be very close to the record," de Brito told Reuters, noting that some exports in February were delayed due to rains.
In addition, there was a greater volume of soyabeans available for export as the harvest started late in 2020.
