The problems in the supply of diesel are due to the demand, which is at the highest levels in recent years. In the first place, growth is observed in some provinces with strong agricultural production, which is not directly correlated with the level of activity.
Also, Argentina imports 30% of diesel production to supply the local market. The value of fuels at an international level is at record highs and logistics are limited as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Consequently, fuel import costs reach the highest values recorded for our region, strongly widening the gap with neighboring countries.
The foregoing exerts unusual pressure on border consumption at the country level, which explains the unusual growth in demand in the NOA and NEA regions.
