I need to get the value of table 2 that has the greatest date that is minor
that atualization_date.
The select should return something like that:
unique product_code´s, with their atualization_date and their value

select t1.*,
(select t2.value from table_2 as t2 where t2.date < t1.atualization_date order by t2.date desc limit 1)
from table_1 as t1
;
