This is shown by the most recent data from the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea).<\/p>\n<p>Considering the average productivity of the last three harvests, of 126.86 arrobas of cotton lint per hectare, the institute calculates that cotton needs to be traded at at least R$ 120.06 per arroba to cover the Effective Operating Cost (COE), R$ 128.20\/@ to reach the Total Operating Cost (COT) and R$ 147.47\/@ to remunerate the Total Cost (CT).<\/p>\n<p>Until August, however, the weighted average price of negotiations for the 2026\/27 crop was R$ 129.67 per arroba.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the average price sold exceeds the level needed to cover the COE by R$ 9.61\/@ and the COT breakeven point by R$ 1.47\/@, but is still R$ 17.80\/@ below the value needed to cover the total cost of production.<\/p>\n<p>The data shows that, despite the price improvements observed in recent months, the profit margin for cotton farmers in Mato Grosso remains under pressure for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>In August, the cost of the 2026\/27 crop was estimated by Imea at R$ 10,617.82 per hectare, a slight decrease of 0.11% compared to the previous month.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the COE advanced 0.13% in the period, to R$ 15,250.61 per hectare, mainly pressured by lease expenses, which rose 4.72% in the month.<\/p>\n<p>The COT was projected at R$ 16,264.37 per hectare, a monthly increase of 0.25%, while the total cost reached R$ 18,709.02 per hectare, an increase of 0.21%.<\/p>\n<p>The figures reinforce that the recovery in prices has not yet eliminated the pressure on the profitability of the 2026\/27 crop. The evolution of prices, input costs, and productivity will be decisive in determining the producer&#039;s margins throughout the next season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>MM Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market in the Central West Region and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.noticiasagricolas.com.br\/noticias\/algodao\/428405-preco-medio-negociado-do-algodao-26-27-cobre-custos-operacionais-mas-ainda-fica-abaixo-do-custo-total-em-mt.html?utm_source=parceiros&#038;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average negotiated price of cotton from the 2026\/27 crop in Mato Grosso already exceeds\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27982,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[240,239,284],"class_list":["post-27981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-centro-oeste","tag-agricultura","tag-agronegocio","tag-algodao"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
