The monthly currency income, transformed into pesos, is the mechanism that allows to continue buying grains from the producers at the best possible price. The liquidation of currencies is fundamentally related to the purchase of grains that will then be exported, either in the same state or as processed products, after an industrial transformation.
Most of the currency income in this sector is produced well in advance of export, anticipation that is around 30 days in the case of the export of grains and reaches up to 90 days in the case of the export of oils and protein flours. This anticipation also depends on the moment of the campaign and the grain in question, so there are no delays in currency settlement.
In this sector, statistical comparisons between different periods are generally inaccurate or inaccurate since the liquidation of currencies is strongly influenced by the commercial cycle of the grains, which depends on various and changing exogenous factors such as international pricing oscillations, supply retraction, different volume and protein value of harvests, climatic conditions, holidays, union force measures, regulatory modifications, regulatory modifications, barriers and for abroad tariffs, phytosanitary or quality requirements of other countries, etc.
