A turnaround in Russian exports could shake up Brazil's fuel economy.
Russia's recent maneuvers in diesel exports are likely to cause tremors in the Brazilian fuel market. When it comes to supplying Brazil with diesel, Russia is a major player, meeting a large portion of national demand.
Understanding market dynamics
Helmuth Hofstatter, the visionary behind Logcomex, an innovative technology company focused on foreign trade, provides a clear view of the situation. By providing end-to-end solutions, Logcomex specializes in helping companies optimize their supply chain. According to Hofstatter, 74% of diesel arriving in Brazil is of Russian origin. Therefore, any fluctuation in Russia's diesel supply has the potential to cause significant ripples in the Brazilian market.

- Brazil is one of the countries that SPENDS THE MOST on servers! 65% are 'stabilized', while in Sweden only 1% have this benefit
- Fines will be issued freely! Drivers should be on alert, as new radars on Brazilian highways represent a new milestone in traffic control in Brazil
- Mobility plan for major Brazilian city will benefit 150 people per day, but there is a problem: more than a THOUSAND trees will be destroyed and this has been keeping residents awake at night
“The recent Russian suspension puts the spotlight on other major suppliers, such as the United States and the United Arab Emirates. However, these alternatives could come at a higher cost, placing additional pressure on the Brazilian economy”, analyzes Hofstatter.
He also notes that Russia, realizing the increase in Brazilian demand, adopted a strategy of raising fuel prices. The good news, however, is that Hofstatter does not foresee a shortage. “We can, however, expect some price adjustments,” he warns.
The numbers speak for themselves. When looking at Brazil's import statistics from Russia, Paraná tops the list, followed closely by Amapá and São Paulo. And these numbers are courtesy of Logcomex itself.
