Beyond The Constant Surge In Fuel Prices, Conflict Between Russia And Ukraine May Generate Scarcity And Supplies Of Gasoline And Diesel In Brazil

One of the reflections of the Russia-Ukraine conflict that most impacts Brazilians is the increase in fuel prices. It is known that Brazil is self-sufficient in oil, but not in derivatives. In this sense, the president of Rodoil, the largest fuel distributor in southern Brazil, Roberto Tonietto, warns of the shortage of refined products, such as diesel and gasoline – products that tend to become scarcer as the conflict progresses.

Regarding the national scenario, Tonietto emphasizes that there is no risk of running out of oil in Brazil, but the deficit in refined products such as diesel and gasoline is concerning and deserves attention. “We process about 70% of our needs and purchase 30% of the refined product from abroad. The problem is not in oil, but in the derivatives, which generate difficulties in supplying the domestic market. Consumers have not yet felt the problem of product shortages, but distributors and gas stations are already experiencing product scarcity issues. However, we are mobilizing to find solutions to ensure the flow of internal supply,” he concludes.
