The economic downturn has made the preparations for the Brazilian Carnival more challenging, but this has not hurt the Brazilian carnival enthusiasm, they began to adopt a more economical and creative way to prepare for the carnival drama next February.
According to a report by the Brazilian World Wide Web, the economic downturn, currency devaluation and high inflationary pressures have led to high prices for Brazilian carnival supplies, and there is a shortage of supply. Samba schools have to find ways to reduce the cost of clothing and props, such as increasing the color of the suit but reducing the proportion of high-cost decorations such as feathers.
“The real depreciation of the Real has caused the prices of imported goods, especially those from China, to skyrocket, and many good items have not been seen in the market this year.” The head of the “Green Palace” of the famous Samba school in São Paulo is hot. Freitas complained.
Since the beginning of this year, Brazil’s economy has performed poorly and the currency Real has depreciated by more than 40%. According to data released by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Trade on the 3rd, Brazil’s imports in October fell by 21.1% year-on-year.
Freitas showed some sequin decorations commonly used in carnival costumes. The price of these decorations was three times that of last year due to imports. All well-known Samba schools are reluctant to reduce the quality of clothing, so they have to find ways to reduce the amount of high-priced materials.
Freitas said that a set of clothing used in the parade should have used 30 feathers, and now only 20 can be used, and it is still difficult to find the goods.
Elias Ayub has been doing carnival business for 35 years. He said that the sales of the Brazilian carnival market this year has been reduced by nearly half compared with last year, and many samba schools started to purchase raw materials earlier than before. Due to the high price of imported products, Ayub only sold local goods this year.
The rising cost has forced Samba schools to adopt more creative ways to create carnival clothing. Amarillo de Mello, a staff member of the "Golden Eagle" Samba School in Sao Paulo, said: "In fact, we have encountered difficulties before, but we can tide over the difficulties every time, as long as we fully utilize our imagination, we can always overcome See the bottom of the purse."
"Black Pearl" samba school finance director Marcelo Proroll said that because the price of imported materials is too high or insufficient supply, they have to switch to buying local products. “I believe this will be a carnival that lacks traditional feather decoration but is more creative.”
