The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2024

ByNeXoMercados

Trade is an essential part of our agri-food systems, as it fulfills the fundamental function of moving food from surplus regions to deficit regions, thus contributing to global food security. Global food markets connect people and countries around the world; they contribute to the efficient use of natural resources worldwide; they facilitate the supply of sufficient, safe, and diverse food; and they generate income for farmers and people working in the food and agriculture sectors. Trade is inherent to the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. It is also closely related to economic growth, interacts with people, and establishes links with the environment. [1]

Global Perspectives on Growth

ByNeXoMercados

The world economy remained resilient in 2024, expanding at a solid annualized rate of 3.2% during the second half. However, recent activity indicators point to a weakening of global growth prospects. Business and consumer confidence has weakened in some countries. Inflationary pressures persist in many economies. At the same time, political uncertainty has been high and significant risks remain. Greater fragmentation of the world economy is a key concern. Higher-than-expected inflation would drive more restrictive monetary policy and could lead to disruptive revaluation in financial markets. On the positive side, agreements to reduce tariffs from current levels could generate higher growth….

ByNeXoMercados

The mining industry in Argentina has experienced constant growth throughout various governments, consolidating itself as a key sector for the national economy. Many Argentine provinces consider mining as the main driver of their economic development, boosting investments and generating local employment. Incentive RegimeforLargeInvestments (RIGI) To encourage significant investments in strategic sectors, Argentina implemented the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI). This regime offers fiscal, customs, and exchange benefits for a period of 30 years to projects exceeding USD 200 million, including those in the mining sector. The RIGI aims to promote economic development, strengthen competitiveness, and increase national exports. CommitmenttoSustainableMining…

Perspectives on the Production of Alternative Energies in Argentina: Towards a Sustainable Energy Matrix

ByNeXoMercados

Argentina is at a crucial stage of transforming its energy matrix, moving towards renewable sources that allow the replacement of fossil fuels with clean energies. This change is essential to efficiently supply urban centers, rural areas, mining and industrial activities, and to promote electromobility in the country. Diversification of Renewable Sources Wind and Photovoltaic Solar Energy: These sources have experienced notable growth in recent years. In 2020, renewable energies supplied 9.7% of the total electricity demand, increasing from 5.9% in 2019. This progress aligns with the goal of reaching 20% by 2025, as established by current legislation2. Wave and Tidal Energy: Argentina…

Increase in lone wolf and adolescent terrorist attacks.

ByNeXoMercados

This threat is growing in various countries, as revealed by the IEP, Institute for Economics and Peace, which shows an increase in attacks, doubling the number from 2023. These are young people acting on their own, known as lone wolves. Additionally, their precocity is surprising: one in five people detained in Europe for terrorism in 2024 was a minor. The trend is that there are more attacks, with fewer deaths, but covering more countries, 66 attacks in 2024 compared to 58 in 2023, with Germany being the most affected country, as reflected by TN in its article…

A world that spends more and more on military expenditure.

ByNeXoMercados

The world faces a certainty: uncertainty. Trade and military wars, as well as a weakening and questioning of societies towards liberal democracy, make the emotional state of the world one of anguish. In the face of war, Europe is rebuilding its security architecture and defense capability, as concerned about Russia as it is about the United States, from which it continues to massively buy weapons, with military spending being a central concern. The EU announced a rearmament plan through loans worth 150 billion euros. Almost two-thirds of the weapons imported by European NATO members between 2020 and 2024 came from the United States, a significant increase from the 52%…
