The tomatoes hit the pockets of Brazilian consumers in July, and the price of the basket during the period was more expensive in all 17 capitals investigated Dieese (Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies), released on Monday.
The rain and cold food production undertaken in recent months and the cost was passed on to consumers. In Belo Horizonte, the price more than doubled (121.34%). Other large increases were observed in Rio de Janeiro (98.89%) and Vitoria (86.85%).

Among the 17 state capitals, the residents of Belo Horizonte (8.41%), Rio de Janeiro (7.50%) and Porto Alegre (7.03%) were those who had to shell out more money to buy all the food and commodities.

Minimum wage
In July, the Brazilian, who earns the minimum wage (R$ 622) took 92 hours and 48 minutes - nearly four days - to buy a basic basket of the month. The package price of food and commodities accounts for 45.85% of net salary (minus Social Security) of the worker who earns the least.
Already in June, the basket absorbed 43.98% of salary, ie, a lower value than in July.
To estimate the optimal value of the minimum wage, capable of meeting the basic needs of workers, technicians Dieese take into account the higher cost for the set of basic items - which occurred in July in Porto Alegre (R$ 299.96).
The Dieese also considers the basic premise of the Constitution that the lowest salary paid to defray the costs of a worker and their family with food, housing, health, education, clothing, hygiene, transport, leisure and welfare.
To meet these needs, in July, the minimum wage should be R$ 2,519.97, which corresponds to 4.05 times the minimum effective (R$ 622).
The previous month, the minimum reached R$ 2,416.38 (3.88 times the current value), and in July 2011, the national floor should reach R$ 2,212.66, or 4.06 times the minimum season (R$ 545).
