Argentina looking to absorb the million tons of bio-diesel Spain no longer will import
Almost a million tons of bio-diesel which was exported to Spain will now have to be absorbed by Argentina’s domestic market following on Madrid’s decision to cut all imports because of the seizure of oil corporation YPF from Repsol by the administration of President Cristina Fernandez.

Not a chance in the world Argentina will face a solidarity gesture from rest of Europe, they simply don't understand the meaning of “solidarity”, it's every man on his own in the “1st world” :)
May 01st, 2012 - 06:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2 - Why would Europe do that, considering that Argentina owes many countries in the EU money.
May 01st, 2012 - 07:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0The other EU countries can source bio-fuels from elsewhere in South American and Africa, and these countries will put their own needs before Argentina, 'cos after all what has Argentina ever done for them except impose unfair trade restrictions and attempt to bully and pressurise them.
But as the article says, the fuel could be processed as cooking oil, no doubt Maximo would buy lots of it to cook his burgers in.
Either way, the sort-sightedness of Argentina's illegal seizure of YPF will have economic repercussions that will affect the ordinary Argentinians, not that CFK and her government give a damn about them.
@3 Maximo could hydrogenate it, and then use the margarine to make his cream buns. That would take up some of the 300'000'000 tons.
May 01st, 2012 - 07:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why are they looking to other markets that don't want to get shafted by Argentina like Germany and France, who don't want to get shafted by Argentina. Do they not get the point that no one wants to get shafted by Argentina, and the risk of getting shafted by Argentina makes your oil worth less.
Isn't the point that the bio fuel earned Argentina a premium price and in a foreign currency? Selling it domestically would simply fail unless it is sold at the same price controlled level as other fuels - which I would imagine would make it commercially unviable.
May 01st, 2012 - 08:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's an interesting dilemma for Argentina.
May 01st, 2012 - 08:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure they must be able to sell it somewhere else and make money rather than selling it for bargain basement prices internally?
@2 Guzz
May 01st, 2012 - 09:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Possibly not a solidarity gesture, more likely a demonstration of having learnt by other peoples (in this case Spain's) mistakes.
As flaky and prone to nationalizing other people's stuff as Argentina is would you plan your national energy and transportation systems around it?
Besides, solidarity has become when left-wing semidictators back each other, if France and Germany adopt the ten-foot-pole approach to Argentine bio-diesel then it'll be a European neo-colonialist conspiracy instead (at least in the Argentine press).
@7 I cannot see any european country buying it unless it's brutally cheap. And when I say brutal.. i mean brutal.

May 01st, 2012 - 10:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0The price wil be anyones guess.
Well China will probably buy it, but since they're wiley inscrutable people, the price will be at practically next to nothing.
May 01st, 2012 - 10:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFK and her cronies have neatly backed Argentina into a corner, cutting off lifelines to their former allies and to the international community. They have made themselves look pathetic to international bodies, such as the UN and the OAS. Oh yes, a masterstroke by CFK.
Argentina is desperate, and is trying to firmly plant their flag on Chinese hopes. However, China doesn't need Argentina as much as Argentina needs them, so China will be able to dictate terms to them, not just about bio-fuels, but about oil and gas, and any other product that Argentina will want to try and export.
All China had to do was throw CFK a bone by saying, 'China supports your claims to the Falklands,' and she was all over them, licking their boots. Argentina take note, China will, like some other countries have done, verbally support you, but when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, you'll get nothing.
KFC. What childish braindead politics you play. If you want to play rough then your going to take quite beating in return for the idiotic choices. When will the people of Argentina wake up and give her the boot?

May 01st, 2012 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#9 “Money follows the best price - somebody will buy it regardless of the politics.”
Only in a logical, rational and sane world. Argentine political leaders will be drawn to trade the biodiesel where they can obtain the highest kickbacks in return. The problem with this product is that it has a very small market willing to pay a premium market price and those customers don't pay under the table. Cream puffs to the Argentine masses may therefore be the most practical answer.
It was reported yesterday that Ralph Lauren will exit Argentina. Along with many other foreign branded retail locations they can't get products so they are leaving.
May 01st, 2012 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0RGs are very proud to have a US EU branded store available in BA, it makes them feel like they are as good as NYC, London, Paris.

May 01st, 2012 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Justicialist Party May Day Celebrated
Buenos Aires, May 1 (Buenos Aires Herald) -- The dear respected Maximo Fernández made a congratulatory speech at the Justicialist Party parade celebrating the brave workers of Argentina on the May Day holiday. His speech has enjoyed great public response as it was vibrant with superb intelligence and iron will and gives clear-cut answers to questions arising in building a thriving nation.
In particular, his statement that “Our party and the government of the Justicialist Party will join hands with anyone who sincerely wishes the reunification of the country and peace and prosperity of the nation, and make responsible and persevering efforts to realize the historic cause of national reunification with our brothers held captive in the Malvinas Islands” instills in the minds of all Argentinians the conviction of sure victory in national reunification with them.
Maximo Fernández was evidently making a reminder of the tireless work of his mother, Dear Leader, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who has called for national unity before anything else and led all patriotic-minded Argentinians to the efforts for national reunification with the Islas Malvinas.
This statement also made people recall the bold and fearless leadership, of his father, the late Great Leader President Néstor Kirchner as well who declared that Argentina would join hands under the banner of great national unity with government authorities or ruling and opposition party officials, politicians and Argentine workers, if they value the common interests of the nation and want national reunification with the illegally held rightful territory of Argentina.
The idea of on great national unity and their lofty personalities and patriotism of Presidents Cristina Fernández and the great leader President Néstor Kirchner, have served as a source of strength enabling all Argentinians to turn out in the drive for national unity and reunification.
Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Entre Rios and Santa Fe, Mendoza, Neuquén, and Chubut , can no longer issue international debt below a 13% interest rate and have had to cancel their expected bond sales. This is due to the increased risk rate charged to Arg after the YPF expropriation.

Apparently Mr Hague asked the Argentine ambassador for a Gin & Tonic. The Argentine ambassador gave the standard reply that because the airline has had to pay for the jet fuel in cash they did not have enough cash to buy alcohol. She said that Argentina was then developing a gin fueled engine design but plans had been put in hold as the Argentine gvt had seized all gin to donate to the unemployed and slum dwellers so they wouldnt complain about the lack of adequate state welfare.

Elaine, you notice that in the past he's avoided making homophobic comments in the past, but now seems to be lashing out with them in the past two days as he seems to be failing to successfully make sense.
May 01st, 2012 - 07:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The conclusion that's he's extremely self-centered narcissist still remains valid, but there is obviously even a darker and more disturbing aspect of his insecure and adolescent personality disorder that goes far beyond being extremely sensitive to rejection.
Thankfully there is the WWW providing a safety buffer from when he reacts with physical temper tantrums. His recent comments attacking you are clear symptoms of a sexually confused and frustrated adolescent.
This will be a warm winter in Argentina with all that extra fuel not only ift will be warm but cheap and productive if only half of that fueln is used in production, I wonder if China, India or Pakistan would be interested in cheaper options. This is the best time in history to seek new costumers who are willing to pay today's prices, something like this happened a while ago with soy going to China and a few months later India or pakistan filled in the gap. Europe is going broke and they think everyone else live in their same doomsday. Fortunately this is not the Argentina's case.

All over our continent, the USA with its ”Plan Condor (Operation Condor)”, installed puppet leaders to get rid of socialists and socialist regimes. For over a decade they killed, tortured and disappeared people all over the continent. 60000 deaths are prooved, actual number is much higher.
If you guys had removed Galtieri from office, you would've seen the true celebration, not only in Plaza de Mayo, but all over the country...
We did help get rid of Galtieri. After we defeated the agressor he stepped down within days and the junta soon collapsed. Would have happened at some point but historians agree that the righteous actions of the UK accelerated the demise of the dictatorship. We don't expect a thank you from Argentina.

Good old Marcos as per usual rejecting reality and history.....
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos has also rejected his grey matter. I think he thinks Argentina is China's poodle and we know what those commies do with poodles. Yum yum yum.

@90 Marcos doesn't do history or reality, that's what makes him Argentine.
May 02nd, 2012 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#59 Argentina doesn't need to sell their biofuel, this report is a clown short from being a circus act, reminds me of CNN destructive reports against the airline industry back in 2001 to stage the war against CIA agent bin laden at the base 'al-qaeda' in afghanistan, costed USA Two major airline corporate and much later the car industry culminating with the bank's not long ago. Allow me to explain, Argentina need to keep the biofuel domestic to develop an economy dependent on it, on one side you do sacrifice biofuel revenues from the international community, but become much more productive and efficient on all industries dependent on it, the cost of distribution alone is the make it or break it point for most businesses aiming to go international and this is not even considering the saving on cost to production from industrial equipments used in all areas of economic activities. is the biofuel industry in Argentina going to collapse do to this ?? Highly unlikely since Argentina's history revolves around farming renewable resources, a nation dammed with blessings.
