Among the claims of the transport businessmen are: the lack of updating the national rate for grain freight considering the real price of diesel; lack of regulation of the trigger clause; conflicts generated by the refusal on the part of some cargo givers, who abuse their position by refusing to pay a fair and reasonable rate; insecurity in the vicinity of the port.
There are also measures for the lack of infrastructure conditions in the different accesses to the Bulk Ports; the lack of diesel supply, which is a problem that affects agricultural producers, rural contractors and transporters, just at the beginning of the soybean and corn harvest, and at a time when decisions are being made for the next planting of the winter crops, such as wheat and barley.
Carriers argue that fuel supply “has been undergoing alterations in different parts of the country”as a consequence of the gap between the sale price and the import price.
The truck drivers point out that since the government forces the oil companies to sell diesel at a lower price than the import price, they are rationing the fuel.
In this regard, service stations charge a maximum of 15 liters per unit. In this regard, the leadership of the Liaison Table called for a contingency plan, proposing that “biodiesel can supply the demand in the different regions of the country.”
“In this way, taking into account the availability of biofuels, not only can we save the country foreign exchange, but in addition to overcoming a shortage at the moment, it would be promoting the use of clean energy, extremely beneficial to the environment,” he stated.
In addition, the biofuel producing companies asked the national government, through the Ministry of Energy, to raise the cut for diesel with biodiesel from 5 to 10% to favor the supply of trucks, harvesters, fertilizers and other agricultural equipment that they must work in full harvest, and also to prepare the ground for the future planting of wheat.
