“Every day there is less fuel and more and more trucks are stopped waiting to load and continue their journey. We have been in this situation for more than 70 days. We have been very punished because the lack of diesel makes it very difficult for the carrier,” the leader maintained.
Guarnieri commented that at some service stations in the interior of the country they are charging between $200 and $240 for a liter of “blue” diesel: “It’s an overprice. They give you 100 liters but if you need more they charge you more. In some places they don’t even give an invoice for the sale. You can’t charge more than what comes out, which is $130“, he pointed out.
Speaking to AM 990, the businessman also pointed out that carriers try to “When the truck gets fuel, it arrives to drop off its cargo at its destination“, while adding: “Then, on the way back, God will say. It seems that nobody cares that the driver is three or four days a week to make a single trip.”
He also assured that, although the shortage affects more to the north of the country, it is beginning to be absent in Patagonia, a region in which there were no problems until a few days ago.
Guarnieri complained about the “barbaric tax pressure” that the sector has and warned that if the lack of fuel continues, they will not “be able to comply” with taxes.
FADEEAC warned last week that the cost of cargo transportation rose a record 10.6% in May, and became a key factor in the increase in prices of products such as food and beverages. This is the highest increase in more than three and a half years and fuel, the main cost of the sector, increased 12.2% in May, in a framework of very high prices and continuing tensions in the international market.
In the regions of the country affected by fuel shortages, there are marked additional increases. “Situations of lower diesel availability continue to be registered in several productive regions of the country, as well as quotas and limits for cargo, generating significant cost overruns in fuel and in the logistics operation in general,” said the business entity.
