The Confederation indicated that the economic activities most affected by the floods, in cities and large rural areas, are agriculture, with estimated losses of 594.6 million reais (108 million euros), and livestock (27 million euros). Rio Grande do Sul is the largest rice producer in Brazil and the rains destroyed part of the harvest, so the government has already authorized imports to prevent price increases. Losses in industry are estimated at 34 million euros, in commerce at seven million euros and in the services sector at 10.6 million euros. In terms of material damage, the floods caused damage to schools, hospitals and public buildings estimated at 64 million euros. Damage to infrastructure works, including bridges, roads, electricity and sewage networks, totaled 260 million euros. Among the affected infrastructures are the airport and the Porto Alegre land transport terminal, the regional capital, which have been paralyzed since Monday. The city's airport, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is only expected to resume operations at the end of May. Although the authorities have reported that the water level of some rivers had begun to drop, the resumption of rains on Wednesday afternoon, at least in Porto Alegre, interrupted the descent and forced firefighters to suspend rescue work for isolated people. Rio Grande do Sul expects a new storm front between Wednesday night and this morning, with winds estimated at 90 kilometers per hour, which could worsen the situation and the losses.
