March was also the first month of the current harvest with greater exports than the previous harvest. The crop harvest was delayed, postponing exports. Export revenue reached US$ 5.35 billion in March, compared to US$ 3.74 billion in March 2020. The average price per ton increased by 15.15%, to US$ 397.1 per ton.
