The Agribusiness Sector May Be Affected in Ethanol Production and the Devaluation of the Real, with General Silva e Luna at the Helm of Petrobras

President Jair Bolsonaro, after criticizing Petrobras for adopting “excessive and escalating” prices, referring only to the fifth fuel price increase in 2021, announced on 02/19 that General Joaquim Silva would be the new CEO of Petrobras. As a result, a series of factors have emerged that may affect various markets, including the agribusiness sector, in ethanol production and the devaluation of the real.

Consequences for Agribusiness:

One of the sectors most affected by this measure is ethanol production, as the capping of diesel prices may extend to gasoline, resulting in reduced competitiveness of fuel derived from sugarcane.

Another factor is the anticipated devaluation of the real. Economists pointed out that Bolsonaro’s decision will result in a reduction of 5 billion reais in government revenue, but there are no indications that the value related to the tax freeze will be compensated.

Change in the Presidency of the State-Owned Company:

President Bolsonaro felt dissatisfied with the direction of Castello Branco’s management. The main criticism was regarding the successive price increases of fuels at the refinery, which rose for the fourth time in 2020.

The company uses the so-called International Price Parity (IPP) to guide its pricing policy based on the price of crude oil, which is traded in dollars.

“It is essential to ensure that the Brazilian market continues to be supplied without risks of shortages by the different actors responsible for serving the various regions of Brazil,” says the state-owned company.

In one day, Petrobras’ stock price fell nearly 8%, losing 28.2 billion reais. More than that, on the last Monday (22), it devalued by over 16%.

Spain surprises the world by erecting 62 artificial dunes, mixing sand with natural remains of posidonia, and causing the structure to lose only 1.4% of its volume in 1 year.

Researchers at the Toyota Research Institute found that if a human uses robotic arms to flip a pancake 300 times in an afternoon, the robot learns to do it on its own the next morning, and this is currently the most promising method to solve the biggest bottleneck in modern robotics.

Goodbye iron: a common item in households is starting to lose space to technology that smooths clothes in minutes without an ironing board and with less energy consumption.

With 16 Bulava missiles, improvements in acoustic stealth, and a design focused on silent patrols, Russia’s nuclear submarine was born to ensure Moscow’s invisible retaliation and has become one of the pillars of its maritime strength.
