ARThe article discusses how geopolitical conflicts, particularly between Russia and Ukraine, are affecting international grain markets and creating opportunities for Argentine producers. Consultant Pablo Adreani explains that the war has disrupted vegetable oil exports due to the significant role of Russia and Ukraine in the market. He notes that Russian attacks now target civilian infrastructure, including the Ukrainian company Kernel, which processes sunflower products. The conflict also impacts the global maize trade, with the US, Brazil, Argentina, and Ukraine accounting for nearly 60% of world exports. Adreani suggests that these conditions could lead to stronger prices for Argentine maize producers. Additionally, he mentions rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and how increased oil prices affect global logistics, though food consumption remains relatively stable.
