The increase in the average freight price per kilometer traveled in January reflects, mainly, the impact of the price of regular diesel, what, according to the Edenred Ticket Log Price Index (IPTL), it had an average value of R$ 6 in January,23, registering a high of 0,48% compared to the average of the previous month and the S-10 type, that recorded an average price of, that R$ 6,31 in the first month of 2025, after a discharge of 0,64% in the same comparison. Furthermore, the macroeconomic scenario also influenced transportation costs, once the increase in the basic interest rate (Selic) makes credit more expensive and puts pressure on the value of other essential inputs for transportation operations, explain Vinicios Fernandes, director of Edenred Repom.
The executive also emphasizes that, starting in February, the expectation is for the maintenance of the upward trend in the average freight price, driven by the increase in demand for transportation in agribusiness, reflection of the delay in the harvest 25, which tends to concentrate the flow of production in a shorter period. Factors such as taxation on the sector, mainly the ICMS (Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services) and the upward revision of the freight table should also further pressure transportation costs in the coming weeks, finalizes Fernandes
