Santa Cruz, May 27, 2023 (AN-YPFB).- Between January and April 2023, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos billed more than USD 10.7 million for the sale of 22,693 metric tons (MT) of granulated urea to the domestic market, reported the manager of Derived and Industrialized Products of YPFB, Gabriela Delgadillo Salazar.
“Bolivian farmers demand greater volumes of urea each year for use in agriculture. The largest consumer of fertilizer in the aforementioned period is the department of Santa Cruz with a 54% share in sales, followed by Cochabamba, La Paz and Tarija,” said Delgadillo.
The information was shared during the first productive fair “Expo Agronorte San José de Chiquitos”, held in the rural community June 6 in the department of Santa Cruz, an activity in which the Vice President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, David Choquehuanca, staff from YPFB, small producers, Mennonite colonies and others.
Personnel from the state oil company reported and disseminated the benefits and advantages of fertilizer in crops such as corn, sorghum, grasses, watermelon and other products that were exhibited at the Chiquitana fair.
The meetings held with producers are highlighted so that they can purchase YPFB fertilizer directly from both the point of sale in the Commercial District of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, as well as the sale of the product from the Ammonia Plant and Urea “Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz”, located in Bulo Bulo.
In the productive fair, the prices of YPFB fertilizer that are published on the YPFB website and the direct purchase procedures were also shared through contacts between the commercial team of the Derivative and Industrialized Products Management and the agricultural producers themselves. .
During the two days of the fair, the producers showed the productive activities with a stand and presentation of agricultural machinery, among which the participation of YPFB in the same community stood out. The massive participation of producers was accompanied by different activities and cultural displays.
YPFB encourages the good use of urea in different crops with technical recommendations for application, meeting the needs of farmers. At the closing of the event, the leaders invited the state oil company to participate in the second version.
