    Bio-fuel is a growing indusrty, and now with the CIA and MI6 occupying Libya we can be sure the demand for alternative energy will climb, if not, I am sure the Argenine cows will love soy, let's not forget the meat market coming out of the same ports can also be turned into EU$ or U$ or Yen$, I wish there was a national bank % charge for all foreign exchange transfers, it can come in handy when inflation starts to set in.

    No, the meat market is already screwed by you-know-who, (read it else where,) and will take some years to recover. Now the soy market is being screwed by the reciprocity to Argentina's insane import laws.

    A comprehensive lack of understanding of all aspects of this item.

    Gabriel Perez from Mercampo, an Argentine agriculture advisory group said “Argentina has not lost its main client in 2010. ”

    Sorry mate, that's exactly what you have lost, and calling black white does not make it so.

    I am sorry guys I don't want to burst your bubble but we can still eat BBQ every weekend in Argentina and meat still is our main source of food, I don't really care if we can't export it, as a matter of fact I think we should bring our heard to an even lower level to spike the price as opec does with oil production, we can play the game too, I mean we want to play too, no worryes, be patiente with China economy on the rise as well as Pakistan and India the last thing Argentina should be worryed about is what europids say about us, Argentina has to stay focus on the major objectives for our economy and let EU and US whine, complain, cry, ckick, byte and moan all they want, since that is all they are really good at. #3 ignorance is a bliss, where some see the glass half emnty other see it half full, I don't think Argentina lost anything by all your moaning I would say EU is disperately trying too hard to hold on to Mercosur.

    #4,
    sorry, your logic remains beyond my comprehension.

    Perhaps my comprehension is weak and your logic is impeccible, or
    perhaps my comprehension is sound and your logic is weak.

    I am inclined to the latter interpretation.
