With a negative variation of 7.8%, the basic basket of Curitiba presented the biggest drop among the 17 capitals surveyed by Inter Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies (Dieese), in March.

The total value of essential food in the city, of $ 210.56, is the eighth highest in the country The survey, released yesterday, follows the trend of fall in the year - the already accumulated is -8.21% - and not much different from other indices presented in capital: fall and had another 14 in six other the reduction was greater than 5%.

The banana (-27.01%), the beans (-17.54%) and potatoes (-13.97%) were the products of basic food basket that had a greater reduction in prices in the capital paranaense. The beef, which has the largest weight among the main food, was also prominent among the falls with a reduction of 7.41%. The increases occurred only with sugar (11.9%), tomatoes (7.57%) and soybean oil (4.71%).

Already in the quarterly index, a fall of 8.21% in the basic basket Curitibanos affected mainly the tomato - whose prices have fallen 28.93% - of beans (-19.83%) and wheat flour (-15.48% ).

The greatest high in the first three months of the year were the potato (20.31%), sugar (16.53%) and milk (14.18%). "There is a general trend of decline in the products," says an economist at Dieese, Sandro Silva.

Silva says that the sharp reduction in Curitiba was also influenced by a change in the methodology of the research that has examined more establishments (30 instead of 16, as before) and brands (from March are three, only one in the previous searches ). Still, Silva believes that the fall in the capital remains strong even with the old method.

Causes

The decline in the average value of the basic food basket in most capitals surveyed by Dieese had the predominant cause the drop in prices of beans, the beef and rice, traditional items on the table of the Brazilian.

The organization stressed the importance of movements of decline, most of the capital, prices of soybean oil, bread and tomato, and cite the high value observed in the sugar, milk, butter and bananas.

The beans showed decrease in all capitals surveyed in March, in comparison with February. For Silva, good high prices of the product, emerged in the last two years, led to an explosion in production, which is now dropping prices.

In the case of beef, the influence Dieese by pointing to the fall was mainly the reduction of credit for exports, for the international crisis.

The price of the item back in capital at March 16, in comparison with February. In Curitiba, the reduction from the change in methodology - the researchers began to check the prices of two more cuts in addition to coxão-mole.

Among the basket of items that showed high in March, which drew more attention than Dieese was sugar, which moved in 15 capitals, because of the season. "In April, the plants begin to harvest and crush the cane, then the price of the product must fall," Silva concluded.
