Since the middle of November when the rainy season finaly came to Brazil, bad weather and heavy rains are threatening Pepper production areas disrupting delivery routes and processes causing a big mess in the pepper industru this end of the year.
We post below an advise from one of the most reputable spices operators in Brazil warning clients and explaining the situation.
Our understanding is due the situation, the trend of Brazilan Pepper for next month is upright
State of Paraná, Guaratuba - road to the port of Parangúa
Situation of roads in the State of Espírito Santo
December 5, 2022
After another weekend of heavy rain across the state of Espírito Santo and, particularly, in the pepper growing and processing regions, the situation today is of extreme concern.
In addition to the roads banned last week, now more roads, accesses and bridges are being punished by the heavy rains that devastate the region.
Today some more roads are blocked, with landslides, erosion and affected bridge structures, which makes all vehicle traffic in these regions impossible.
In view of this, we communicate to our customers that all shipments are on standby, since without road clearance, access to the ports of Espírito Santo, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro are closed.
We are in contact with all exporters, carriers and freight forwarders so that we can ship what is possible at this time, however delays will inevitably occur due to the aforementioned situation.
We are still waiting for the positioning of the road bodies and authorities so that we can estimate the time needed for the situation to normalize.
So we ask our customers to be patient and know that we are full time working on this matter and as soon as we have any news, we will inform you immediately.
Best Regards,
Cris Guerreiro
