This dataset provides quarterly truck rates for select Brazilian soybean-export routes (designated by origin and destination).

This dataset is also used to calculate a weighted-average truck rate, which can be viewed here: https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/i4ty-m7hq. A share associated with each row is used to define the weight of a given route's freight price in the composition of the weighted freight index. This calculation is made based on the quantity of production in the route's mesoregion as that quantity relates to the total produced by all mesoregions considered in the project. In 2020, the selected mesoregions represented about 81 percent of national production, so the shares will not sum to one.
