Vancouver has a new attraction for Canadian bitumen producers seeking better margins and less dependence on the US Gulf coast market. While the growing supply of heavy Venezuelan crude at the US Gulf is pulling down prices for heavy Canadian crude there, the Asian demand for heavy dilbit blends at Vancouver appears likely to stay strong, boosting prices there. Join our conversation with Argus crude market reporters John Cordner and Matthew La France regarding issues including: How is the growing seasonal diluent content in heavy Canadian dilbits increasing the incentive for Chinese refiners to buy these grades? How do recent moves in volatile waterborne freight markets support demand for crude from Vancouver? How has the recent agreement on permanent tolls for the TMX pipeline helped to lock in positive margins for shippers of crude on that line to Vancouver? Why do many US Gulf coast refiners prefer Venezuelan Merey crude to Canadian heavy grades?
O Brasil acaba de passar por mais uma eleição presidencial e, para o agronegócio, uma das perguntas centrais é: como reduzir a dependência externa de fertilizantes sem comprometer a competitividade do produtor rural?

Saiba mais acompanhando a conversa entre Camila Dias, diretora da Argus no Brasil, e Renata Cardarelli, editora da publicação Argus Brasil Grãos e Fertilizantes.
