In a statement, the Mato Grosso do Sul Supermarket Association (AMAS) stated that Suppliers have available stocks of the product, but the floods in the South caused a serious logistics problem in relation to transport to Mato Grosso do Sul.

“This is the case with rice, where some supermarkets are already limiting the quantity sold per customer, due to fear of running out of product”, explained AMAS.

In Dourados, some consumers also found a sign warning of the limit on food purchases, but not just for rice. Notices indicate that bags of beans, sugar and wheat flour can be purchased in up to 6 bags each.

Milk was also restricted in a supermarket, with a purchase limit set at up to 36 units.
