Reporter Miriam Ramos, from Rádio USP, spoke with Décio Zylbersztajn, professor at the Faculty of Economics, Administration and Accounting (FEA) at USP, to talk about how the price of vegetables increased by approximately %. Due to the rains that devastate much of the country, the price of vegetables has increased by approximately %. To find out more about the subject, reporter Miriam Ramos, from Rádio USP, spoke with Décio Zylbersztajn, professor at the Faculty of Economics, Administration and Accounting (FEA) at USP. The professor explains that, when it comes to agricultural products, it is very common to observe a “fluctuation” in prices throughout the year depending on technical characteristics, such as the way periods of greater rainfall tend to affect the production of vegetables and leafy crops. Despite the negative effects, Zylbersztajn explains that problems of this nature have had an increasingly smaller impact, as the plasticulture technique has been widely used in Brazil. “Price fluctuations are normal in the world of agriculture.
In general, we remember when the price goes up, but we forget when the price goes down. Some call it ‘seasonality,’” he says. Although the phenomenon of fluctuation is already expected, Zylbersztajn clarifies that the term inflationary also exerts its influence on the consumer's pocket. “Administered prices, such as electricity, have had a tremendous impact on agricultural production costs in rece Whatsapp Number List nt times, in the same way that they have impacted the domestic budget. In the case of agriculture, especially the more technical one, a lot of electrical energy is used”, he argues. In this account, the agricultural economist also adds the devaluation of the local currency, an obstacle of great impact, given that a large part of agricultural inputs are imported. If products such as zucchini, peppers and onions have become more expensive, the professor also finds justification for inflationary expectations.
Everyone is trying to inflate prices to protect themselves, so this is a very delicate moment in the Brazilian economy. All prices in the economy rise, and it will be no different with agricultural products”, he concludes.Monaco recalls that assistive technologies must be well tested and evaluated, so that they can be considered safe for large-scale availability. “The project team is preparing to carry out experiments with visually impaired people, which involves strict experimentation protocols, ethical prerequisites and special care,” she plans. “There are good expectations regarding the results, which will make the product viable.” The project includes researchers from the areas of computing and neuropsychology. The research had the participation of professors Vanessa Nunes de Souza and Tarsila Curtu Miranda (UNICEP) and student-researchers Renê de Souza Pinto, Rafael Miranda Lopes and Lucas Crocomo, as well as other collaborators.
