These are the best monthly results in the entire historical series, since 1997, in terms of both value and volume. The data comes from the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC), analyzed by the Center for Socioeconomics and Agricultural Planning (Epagri/Cepa) and available at the Santa Catarina Agricultural Observatory.
