Higher prices and increased exports helped push up first-quarter sales and earnings, but costs linked to the high value of the dollar as well as stagnant prices on the domestic market are likely to make second-quarter conditions much more difficult.

In terms of net revenue, exports rose 74% to 649m reais (US$218m) in the first quarter, helping total net revenue to increase 41% to 1.38bn reais. Net income jumped 207% to 85.9m reais.
