A Chilean importer said the market continues to operate with high prices from major suppliers, but with growing pressure on profitability. According to the source, Brazil is offering in the range of US$/t 6,500–6,700 for 19/20 cuts, while Paraguay stands at US$/t 7,250–7,350—levels he described as effectively traded. However, he noted higher offers —Brazil around US$/t 6,900 and Paraguay near US$/t 7,900— though he clarified these are asking prices without validation in the market. “They are bids, but there are no deals at those levels,” he said.
