"The more selective credit environment, combined with the maintenance of high production costs and the higher level of leverage for producers, continued to affect cash flow in the field", stated, in a note, the head of agribusiness at Serasa Experian, Marcelo Pimenta. According to him, the evolution of this scenario until the end of the year will depend on the revenue generation capacity, the behavior of margins and the conditions for renegotiating debts. "Therefore, we reinforce that renegotiating debts and maintaining financial planning must be priorities, while judicial recovery must remain the last resort", he stated.
