According to data released by the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea), the estimated cost in August was R$ 10,617.82 per hectare, while the effective operating cost (COE) reached R$ 15,250.61\/ha.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_3_sidebar_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_4_conteudo_desktop\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"d-none d-lg-block mb-md-4\">\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Despite a slight decrease of 0.11% in operating costs compared to the previous month, the COE (Cost of Goods Sold) increased by 0.13%. The increase was mainly driven by lease expenses, which rose by 4.72% during the period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The total operating cost (COT) was estimated at R$ 16,264.37\/ha in August, a monthly increase of 0.25%. The total cost (CT) reached R$ 18,709.02\/ha, an increase of 0.21%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Considering the average productivity of the last three years, of 126.86 arrobas per hectare of cotton lint, the producer needs to achieve certain prices to cover the different cost levels of the activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">According to data released by Imea, cotton needs to be sold for at least R$ 120.06 per arroba to cover the COE. To cover the COT, the necessary value rises to R$ 128.20\/@, while the minimum price to cover the CT reaches R$ 147.47\/@.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_4_conteudo_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_5_conteudo_desktop\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"d-none d-lg-block mb-md-4\">\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Until August, the weighted average price for the 2026\/27 crop was R$ 129.67 per arroba. According to data released by Imea, this value covers the COE and COT, but leaves a tight margin for the producer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The scenario shows that, even with the increase in cotton prices observed in recent months, the profitability of the activity continues to be pressured by production costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This situation reinforces the importance of financial planning and expense control for the upcoming season. The behavior of costs and market prices will be crucial in determining the profit margin obtained by cotton farmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">According to data released by Imea, efficient management should remain among the main points of attention for producers given the cost scenario and the need to preserve the profitability of cotton production in Mato Grosso.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>Bela Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agrolink.com.br\/noticias\/custo-do-algodao-sobe-e-pressiona-rentabilidade-na-safra-26-27_519164.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cost of cotton continues to put pressure on the profitability of producers in Mato Grosso this harvest season\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258],"tags":[244,248,255,249,254,250,246,247,256,245,253,252,251],"class_list":["post-28368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-safra","tag-agrolink","tag-agrotoxicos","tag-artigos-tecnicos","tag-classificados","tag-colunistas","tag-compra","tag-cotacoes","tag-defensivos","tag-eventos","tag-noticias","tag-precos-agricolas","tag-previsao-do-tempo","tag-venda"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
