Luego de que el gobierno decidiera reducir el dragado de la hidrovía, Marcelo Lewandowski sostuvo que «están utilizando estrategias equivocadas». El gobierno nacional tomó dos decisiones importantes para Santa Fe en lo que respecta a la hidrovía. Por un lado, hizo un cambio en el diseño del cobro de peajes en la traza del canal troncal que, en la práctica, le bajará el peaje a los puertos de Timbúes equiparándolo con lo que se paga en el resto de los puertos del Gran Rosario, una medida que beneficiará a los grandes puertos allí instalados como los de Cofco, Renova, Dreyfus, ACA y AGD. Y por el otro, eliminó la obligatoriedad de dragar desde Timbúes a la ciudad de Santa Fe a 25 pies, una decisión sustentada en que no hay ese tramo tránsito de grandes buques que lo justifique, pero que igual será de difícil digestión para el establishment de la capital provincial. Ambas medidas se tomaron en el marco del nuevo contrato de «concesión transitoria» firmado entre la Secretaría de Transporte de la Nación (como poder concedente de la gestión de la hidrovía) y la estatal Administración General de Puertos Sociedad del Estado (AGP), que tiene la concesión del sistema troncal de navegación desde que en 2021 se terminó la gestión privada. En ese marco, dialogamos con el senador por Santa Fe, Marcelo Lewandowski, se refirió a la decisión de Javier Milei y aseguró que «deja afuera a muchos puertos». «Están atentando claramente contra la producción», señaló, refiriéndose a las políticas que limitan el calado del río Paraná, lo que, según él, pone en riesgo la competitividad y logística de exportaciones no solo en Santa Fe, sino en gran parte del país. Lewandowski destacó que, aunque la composición de una comisión bicameral para el seguimiento de la vía navegable ya había sido votada hace años, actualmente el tema ni siquiera se está tratando en comisiones. «Es una decisión unilateral del gobierno que perjudica a todas las provincias al norte de Timbúes, dejándolas fuera de un sistema clave para la producción y exportación», advirtió. El senador también hizo hincapié en la falta de una estrategia nacional para recuperar las barcazas que han migrado a Paraguay, lo que agrava la situación. Según Lewandowski, esta falta de planificación está afectando seriamente la capacidad de los puertos argentinos para competir con las rutas bioceánicas que están desarrollando Brasil, Paraguay y Chile, dejando a Argentina fuera del circuito logístico más eficiente para exportar hacia Asia. Por otro lado, el legislador criticó la política actual hacia la industria de biocombustibles. «Se cometió un error legislativo al bajar el corte de biocombustibles, perjudicando no solo el desarrollo del sector, sino también el arraigo y valor agregado que generan en las pequeñas localidades», explicó. A pesar de esto, mencionó que se está avanzando en una nueva propuesta para aumentar el porcentaje de biocombustible en el gasoil, aunque el camino aún es largo. Por último, el santafesino apuntó contra el avance del gobierno en otras áreas estratégicas como ARSAT. «Nos estamos quedando sin control sobre áreas estratégicas como las comunicaciones, que son esenciales para el desarrollo de cualquier país. Privatizar ARSAT es un grave error que compromete nuestro futuro en el ámbito tecnológico», concluyó Lewandowski.

Conta ainda sobre o Projeto da CNA com a Apex, para facilitar as exportações de produtos brasileiros.

En Europe, la grande distribution et l’industrie multiplient les initiatives pour écarter de leur approvisionnement le soja brésilien issu de la déforestation. Dernière en date : l’ultimatum aux géants du négoce pour qu’ils cessent de leur vendre du soja cultivé sur des terres défrichées du Cerrado, le château d’eau du Brésil. Le Cerrado est devenu la nouvelle frontière du soja brésilien depuis qu’un moratoire a stoppé provisoirement la déforestation de l’Amazonie. Région de savane où naissent la plupart des cours d’eau du Brésil, le Cerrado a vu la moitié de sa végétation naturelle brûlée en dix ans. Il fournit aujourd’hui 60% du soja du Brésil mais les défrichements continuent. C’est donc le nouveau terrain de mobilisation des écologistes et des scientifiques. De Cargill à Louis Dreyfus, les négociants sur la sellette En 2017, 60 entreprises décidaient de rejoindre leur « manifeste pour le Cerrado ». Désormais elles sont 160. De McDonald’s à Unilever en passant par Nestlé, Kellogg’s, Barry Callebaut ou L’Oréal, mais aussi Auchan, Carrefour, Lidl, Cooperl, Sodexo… Ces marques se sont adressées par courrier à leurs fournisseurs, les négociants ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Louis Dreyfus, Cofco et Glencore-Viterra, pour qu’ils cessent de s’approvisionner dès l’an prochain en soja cultivé sur de nouvelles terres défrichées du Cerrado. Sinon ils stopperont leurs achats. Un éleveur de saumon norvégien renonce au soja brésilien Certains acheteurs européens ont déjà franchi le pas : Nestlé a arrêté de se fournir en soja brésilien auprès de Cargill, le géant norvégien du saumon Grieg Seafood, lui, a exclu le fournisseur américain de ses nouveaux investissements aquacoles financés par ses obligations vertes. Enfin, la semaine dernière, Bremnes Seashore, autre acteur norvégien de poids dans l’élevage du saumon, annonçait qu’il ne donnerait plus du tout de soja du Brésil à ses poissons, mais plutôt des céréales européennes. Exportations massives en Chine La pression s’accroit sur les intermédiaires mais pour l’instant cela n’empêche pas le Brésil d’exporter des quantités record de soja (plus de 82 millions de tonnes en 2020), grâce à la demande chinoise. ► À lire aussi : Le Brésil veut profiter à long terme des malheurs du soja américain en Chine Insatiable ces derniers mois, elle a vidé les stocks brésiliens, au point que le Brésil, pourtant premier producteur au monde avec 127 millions de tonnes en 2020, a dû importer un million de tonnes cette année, un record, pour sa propre consommation.

Les tensions entre Pékin et Washington s’aggravent autour, cette fois, du sort de Hong Kong. Ce qui pourrait donner à la Chine une bonne excuse pour ne pas importer autant de soja américain qu’elle s’était engagée à le faire en janvier dernier. La Chine a demandé aux principales entreprises d’État Cofco et Sinograin, importateurs-clés de produits agricoles, de ne plus acheter de soja ni de porc aux Etats-Unis, selon des sources de Reuters et Bloomberg. La commande vendredi d’une vingtaine de cargaisons de soja américain a été suspendue. La consigne ne vise pas les importateurs privés chinois mais risque de les rendre très frileux. Si l’accord sino-américain de phase 1 signé à la mi-janvier n’est pas explicitement remis en cause, ni à Pékin, ni à Washington, sa réalisation concrète est compromise. 1,7 milliard de dollars de soja et de porc américains depuis janvier Depuis cette date les relations se sont dégradées entre Pékin et Washington. Avec d’abord les reproches de Donald Trump sur la gestion de l’épidémie de Covid-19 par la Chine, puis les relations avec Taiwan. Cette fois c’est le vote de la loi sur la sécurité nationale, que Pékin veut imposer à Hong Kong, qui cristallise les tensions sino-américaines. Autant de contentieux qui n’encouragent pas la Chine à commander autant de produits agricoles américains qu’elle s’y était engagée, à savoir 32 milliards de dollars supplémentaires sur deux ans. Dix fois plus de soja brésilien Si l’on observe les importations depuis janvier, on est très loin du compte. Au premier trimestre, la Chine a acheté pour 691 millions de dollars de porc américain et pour 1 milliard de dollars de soja aux États-Unis. Cela représente entre 2 et 3millions de tonnes de graines de soja en trois mois. Au même moment, la Chine commandait dix fois plus de soja au Brésil ! La tendance s’est poursuivie en avril et en mai, un bond des exportations brésiliennes de 30 à 40%, par rapport à l’an dernier, les trois quarts étant destinés à la Chine. Le soja du Brésil est imbattable étant donné la faiblesse du real, la monnaie brésilienne, il a la faveur des triturateurs chinois qui continuent à se couvrir non seulement sur l’ancienne récolte, vendue à 85%, mais aussi sur la prochaine récolte brésilienne, déjà vendue à 40%. Le porc américain trop cher aujourd’hui Les commandes de soja américain qui normalement bondissent à partir de septembre, sont fortement compromises. Quant au porc américain, ses prix ont tellement grimpé aux États-Unis avec la paralysie des abattoirs, que les achats de la Chine ont fortement décliné depuis le mois dernier.

South east Queensland's prawn industry was very nearly two years free of white spot disease but there's confirmation today, the virus that decimated south east Queensland's prawn industry back in 2016 is back and the first case of arbitration under the sugar industry's Code of Conduct has been resolved, with a cane supply agreement between the COFCO-owned Tully Sugar mill and Tully Canegrowers expected to be signed very soon.

Over the past decade, sustainable and impact investing has grown from a niche form of financing to being implemented by practically every major financial institution. Companies such as COFCO and Wilmar have secured substantial loans tied to their sustainability efforts. Similarly, BNP Paribas announced it would use $10bn in capital by 2025 for projects that are committed to improving social and environmental impact in developing countries. The World Bank also recently doubled its five-year climate investments to around $200bn. However, the impact of this growing interest in sustainable finance still remains unclear and there is still no real consensus on how to measure it. In this hour long webinar, we assess how finance is engaging in sustainable commodities and ask our speakers questions such as: • Has sustainability finally started to take centre stage within financial institutions? • What type of information, metrics, targets and KPIs are investors seeking? • Which sustainable financing options are now available? • How are investors factoring climate impacts into their decision making? Speakers: • Dick Ligthart, associate director – green, social and sustainability bonds, ABN Amro • Maria Lombardo, head of responsible investment EMEA, Invesco • Anita McBain, head of responsible investment and ESG, M&G Investments Moderated by Toby Webb, founder, Innovation Forum
