China conquered us with its cheap drones. Now the price of its pieces is shooting for a reason that is not accidental

by

The Chinese market has been the most attractive option to buy drones for years, both for price and variety. From Ultraeconomic models of 30 euros even professional drones such as DJI MAVIC 4 PROfor more than 2,000 euros. The fan is really wide. Now, that successful formula begins to face a new context. Such as collect Financial Timesthe prices of the components from China are rising, in some cases duplicating. Let’s analyze the reasons and scope of this phenomenon. The scenario has changed. More and more suppliers operating in China are raising their prices for international clients. They do, according to the aforementioned British newspaper, in response to the reinforcement of the export controls that Beijing is applying on “sensitive components.” The aforementioned changes occur in a global context where the United States and China are immersed in a commercial war marked by ups and downs. Although in recent months Some offensives have softeneduncertainty still persists how the next steps will be. Key components in the spotlight. Among the elements most affected by these restrictions are Thermographic cameras. These cameras allow to detect temperature differences and generate images in low visibility conditions, such as night, fog or smoke. Image captured by a drone with thermographic chamber They are used both in civil applications (such as rescue work or industrial inspection), but also in military environments. This last use could be behind the increase in controls and increase in exports, since these cameras allow surveillance tasks in adverse conditions. A strategy that reminds the US. Although the hardening of controls from Beijing may seem a sudden response, it is not an isolated or new movement in the global context. USA It has been restricted for years China’s access to certain products for “national security.” Here we find The well -known case of Huawei. In 2019, Donald Trump’s administration imposed a prohibition that forced US companies to request licenses to offer some technology to the Asian manufacturer, a measure that would be maintained during Joe Biden’s mandate. Drones in front of war. One of the reasons behind Chinese controls is precisely the military use of these devices. Certainly, in recent years we have seen how consumer drones have become an essential part of the military arsenal in conflicts such as Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian attack with Hundreds of drone drones on Russian basesor the massive production of low -cost explosive drones, they have made it clear that there is no border between the civil and the military. Possibly this also explains why China wants to control who sells what. Europe and the US try to react. Both Europe and the United States are reacting to Chinese domain. In the American case, associations like Auvsi They have claimed Fiscal incentives and loans to facilitate the transition to local drones, especially in security forces and public services. There have also been more forceful movements, such as the decision of the United States Department of Defense to include DJI in its list of “Chinese military companies.” This classification led to the manufacturer To start a legal battle with the aim of revoking said label. In the European case, the answer is taking shape through initiatives such as the program Eurodronea joint development between France, Germany, Spain and Italy that seeks to reduce the dependence of non -European manufacturers. There are also other programs, such as European Defense Fund. And what does this affect us? For now, what seems clear is that access to pieces from China is no longer as easy or as cheap as before. Restrictions and controls are making key components more expensive, something that some buyers already notice throughout the planet. We will have to wait to see if this trend ends also affecting the price of the drones that we use on a day -to -day basis (those we buy online or in stores), but everything indicates that the market, as we knew it, is starting to change.

Its price is in historical minimums

by

Not only the market coffeehe cocoa or the Matcha It crosses turbulence. Analysts and authorities They check that there is another much less orthodox merchandise that is suffering a considerable pricing, at least in the wholesale channels, with the kilo collapsed from the More than 30,000 euros They got to pay only a few years ago at less than 20,000 or even 15,000. Which? Cocaine The price decrease is so pronounced that There are those already esteem that in Galicia the white dust has reached its historical minimum. The big question is … why? The kilo, getting cheaper. It is not easy to talk about prices and cargoes of cocaine because the merchandise (obviously) does not move in a regulated market, but a quick review of the newspaper library arrives to make a clear idea: a kilo costs less today less (quite) than just a decade ago. The voice of Galicia He published Sunday A chronicle that accounts for that collapse, especially in the Baixas estuaries. If in 2015 a kilo brick was paid between 27,000 and 29,000 eurosnow moves at 14,500, its historical minimum, according to the newspaper. In other parts of the country, such as Valencia, Barcelona or the great ports of Andalusia, the kilo would also be at least, charging about 17,000 euros, far from the more than 30,000 to those that were quoted ten years ago. A fact: 30,000 euros. It is not the only clue about the bassist drift of the price of wholesale coca, a trend that the authorities They would have been Noting. In 2023 the CEP police union already spoke of a reduction of the merchandise in the large channels. The figures are only references, but they are eloquent: of a maximum of up to 36,000 euros, the kilo had become quoted in a fork of Between 18,000 and 23,000. Last year the UDYCO He went further And he already spoke of between 21,000 and 22,000 euros, with even lower periods, of around 16,000. Price question and something else. The drift of prices coincides with greater activity on commercial routes and market saturation. And that is something that is confirmed with another equally relevant indicator: the police also hunt more vs. 2023 closed with a Seizure record of cocaine Transported by sea and an operation for memory, the interception of a historic stash in Spain: 11 tons from Ecuador distributed between Valencia and Vigo. “The kilo is between 18,000 and 20,000 euros, lower than ever. A year and a half ago it reached 25,000 or 26,000 euros. If you have more drugs you risk more, you send huge shipments,” explained in 2024 Police al ABCmonths before the authorities fell another stash of 13 tons camouflaged between bananas. In your latest report Insight Crime warns: “The record seizures became the norm worldwide, but it is likely that those confiscated tons only made a small dent in what has become one of the most lucrative and violent industries for crime in Latin America.” A relative cheaper. The most curious thing is that this price drop does not seem to have moved to the street. In wholesale channels perhaps the kilo of white dust costs now half That a few years ago, but the cheaper does not seem to have moved to the end of the chain. The gram of coca continues to pay between 50 either 60 euroswithout experiencing great variations in recent years. The phenomenon is not exclusive to Spain and extends to other parts of Europe. “In Belgium, 17,000 per kilo are being paid, but that contrasts with the price paid by the final consumer. It remains stable, in the order of 60 euros the gram. That greatest margin between one price and another could be the one that allows the entry of the greatest amount of links in the distribution chain. In addition, that decrease in the wholesaler could be the cause that organizations make larger shipments to maintain the benefit,” Explain Customs a The voice of Galicia. And what is the reason? The million dollar question. And it does not have a single answer. Those who have tried to explain the fall in the price of coca point to the effects of the signing of the peace agreement between the Colombian State and the guerrillas In 2016what would have released hectares of jungle that have taken advantage of for cultivation, or The effect which has had the veto of toxic herbicides in the plantations. The reason? The Colombian authorities find it very difficult to eradicate the hidden plantations in the jungle acting from the ground, where they meet former guerrillas and mines, so for years they resorted to air fumigation with glyphosate, an effective resource to end illegal crops. The problem is that this herbicide is carcinogenic and polluting, so the authorities They stopped using it in his fight against cocaine. Now, in a scenario of Overproduction which explains the fall in prices, the country already He is thinking If you must recover it. Are there more factors at stake? Yes. Although There are analysts that suggest that everything is a Overproduction issue In countries of origin, others also point out the influence of pandemic. “Farmers continued to produce as always, about three crops a year, and the warehouses of the most powerful organizations were filled with cocaine at such a level that we are still receiving that surplus,” explained In 2024 a UDYCO inspector to The reason. “That is why two of the three largest apprehensions in Spain have been in 2023. We also see that ships bring a lot more than they brought,” adds the inspector. In summary: a simple matter of supply, demand and exit of an accumulated stock at low prices to get rid of the material. New actors at stake. Recently The confidential He slipped One more key: an attempt by the Albanian clans that operate from South America to flood the market, a strategy that would go through “bombarding” with shipments of cargo … Read more

The price of Xiaomi Yu7 is still a mystery. That has not prevented the waiting list from buying it is already one year

by

The Xiaomi Yu7, the first completely electric SUV of the brand and its second model, has reached the market razing. To the point that your waiting list has shot 350 days. If you live in China and want one, you will have to wait almost a year. 350 days. That is what, according to Carnewschina those who wait to acquire a Xiaomi Yu7. The demand of the model has been so high since its Official presentation which has broken the production chain that cannot be basted for 50 weeks for new reserves. According to data collected by the specialized environment in the Chinese engine market, the waiting time is equivalent to a production of 271,000 vehicles. To get an idea, it is half of the units that They sold in China del Tesla Model and in 2024 So you can consider very good numbers considering that Xiaomi has just entered the electric car market. Without price. The most striking of the Xiaomi Yu7 is that we still do not know its price. And the company will wait to announce it up to one or two days before the first deliveries, according to CNEVPOST. At the moment, it is known that the intention is to launch it in July but it has not been specified what day and the date has not been reconfirmed. A fever called Xiaomi. In spite of everything, the volume of reservations is so high that we will have to wait almost a year to receive the car if you add your waiting list right now. The number of customers has therefore surpassed the Xiaomi Su7 that in all its variants it had more restrained waiting times. However, those “restrained” waiting times were extended to 25 weeks to receive the first units of the company’s first electric. And in March it was announced that the Xiaomi Su7 Prothe intermediate option of the Berlinas presented (with large LFP battery of 94.3 kWh signed by CATL and 295 hp engine) has everything sold by 2025 and the waiting list in this case also extends between 47 and 50 weeks. They explain in Carnewschina That the launch of the Xiaomi Yu7 has also re -raised the number of Berlin reserves, being a new push for the model. Right now, to receive the access model (the one that accumulated 25 weeks of waiting during its launch and which has the small 73.6 kWh battery) it is necessary to wait between 41 and 44 weeks. The fastest thing is to ask for your Xiaomi Su7 Max. To receive the most powerful and face option you have to wait between 31 and 33 weeks. Increasing production. This avalanche of orders has forced the company to increase the production lines for its cars. At first, the objectives were to deliver 300,000 units per year but the only waiting list of the Xiaomi Yu7 already aims to meet that goal. In March last year, in anticipation of the expected it was already confirmed that the company planned to increase production to 480,000 vehicles per year. That growth will come with the New plant which should soon come into operation to produce the electric SUV exclusively. The avalanche of orders, indicate in Carnewschinait could lead to more delays in the delivery of the electric Berlin. At the moment, the objective is to deliver this year 350,000 units, as confirmed by Lei Jun himself, CEO of Xiaomi, months ago in information collected by South China Morning Post. That almost half a million units produced should arrive with the lines already operating at full performance. Unleashed. The media stir in which the arrival of Xiaomi’s first cars has become huge. To get an idea, There are tourists paying a money to learn about the factory where the Chinese company is producing its vehicles, with guided visits included. The noise generated in social networks is huge but that has also raised some criticism and suspicions. Criticism of some buyers who are showing their discontent because some components of the Xioami su7 ultra do not give what is promised either With its quality. And suspicions by Xiaomi herself she has denounced, Like Byda social media harassment campaign with the aim of discrediting the company and its new products.

The price of negative light is a problem. It is also the biggest opportunity to reindustrialize Spain in decades

by

See the wholesale price of light to zero euros or even negative has ceased to be an anecdote for become a daily phenomenon In Spain. Symptom that renewables dominate the energy mix, is a growing obstacle to the profitability of electricity, but is still cheap energy. And as such, it is the best opportunity to reindustrialize Spain in a long time. Why it happens. “Zero or negative prices are a symptom of abundance of renewable resources to generate electricity,” analyst Pedro Cantuel, who works in Ignis’s energy management, explains to Xataka. In the central hours of the day, when photovoltaic production is massive, renewables flood the network with a practically null marginal cost, which collapses prices in the wholesale market. The time to reindustrialize. The abundance of cheap energy puts Spain in a competitive advantage position against its European neighbors. If Spain can offer clean energy to a very low cost, it becomes a magnet for industries that devour electricity, such as data centers, metallurgy or new green chemical industry. “In the European context, I think this can happen, since Spain could offer more competitive electricity than some of its neighbors,” explains Sergio Fernández Munguía, engineer of the renewable sector and author of Windletter. “In a global context, industrial electricity in Spain is still expensive because the invoice includes many other items beyond the cost of electricity.” Who has to adapt to who. The industrial model of the twentieth century was based on a premise: the energy was available 24/7 at a more or less stable cost. The renewables have broken this scheme: their production is intermittent. The traditional solution is to store that energy with batteries or pumping centrals, but the high cost of these facilities has dragged their deployment. Fernando Rodríguez, an industrial engineer of the energy sector, believes that the true revolution is not only to attract the usual industries, but to create those of tomorrow. The solution, according to Rodríguez, is that the industry adapts to energy until there is economic storage, and not vice versa: “The industry of the future will have to work with greater inventories, as was the case before the imposition of the imposition of the Just in time“ Flexible and modular manufacturing. The idea is to design industrial processes that can operate in full load when energy is almost free and reduce its activity or stop when it is expensive, without losing efficiency. It is already happening in adaptable industries such as recycling, large -scale 3D printing or desalination, which can program their consumption peaks for maximum solar generation hours. Concrete cases? In the United States, the Alcoa Warrick aluminum giant already adjusts its production to the available renewable generation. In Germany, the School of Engineers of Munich and Linde have designed an ammonia plant that works both 100% and 10% of its capacity, adapting to the production of Hydrogen Grandolytic. The industry will be where renewables are. Rodríguez believes that an industrial relocation will be necessary, and gives as an example the failure of the German “electric highways, a project to carry wind energy from the north to the industrial south that will end up costing more than 140,000 million euros. “Industrial companies must relocate near the new centers of gravity of electric production,” he explains. In Spain, this means taking factories to areas with more sun and wind, creating development poles in places that until now were not industrial foci. If energy is free, who will build the central? The cheap energy avalanche has an inevitable counterpart that puts the entire system at risk. If prices are zero, producers’ income are also. “Negative or zero prices discourage new investments,” confirms Sergio Fernández. “Especially in photovoltaic, those who are making numbers for new plants will see that their expected income in the market is lower than a few years ago and, therefore, also their profitability.” A nipe castle. This problem not only affects future renewable plants, but also the support that guarantees that we have light when there is no sun or wind: combined gas cycles. “As the price of the wholesale market falls,” says Fernando Rodríguez, “the growing opportunity cost will leave investments to generation, transport, distribution and marketing without investors and without financing.” The long -term danger is evident: a total break in the investment that leads us to an obsolete and unable to meet future demand. Without a robust system, there is no possible competitive economy. To take advantage of the industrial opportunity, Spain has to strengthen its nipe castle, and it is not enough to touch the prices artificially. The attack plan. The first bottleneck is the electricity bill. Although energy in the wholesale market is cheap, the invoice is still expensive. For Pedro Cantuel, the solution goes through a “drastic reduction in the final invoice eliminating taxes, bringing system charges to the general state budgets and reduce regulated costs.” The second problem is oversupply. How is demand increased? Cantuel proposes to “encourage electrification to replace the consumption of winter gas with electricity.” And at an industrial level, support great consumers “with the same mechanisms that our German or French competitors have, facilitating the connection of new demand to the network. Spain before its historical opportunity. A turning point that can allow the country to reindustrialize sustainably and become an energy power in Europe. But time runs, and it is essential to “create a national long -term plan that provides stability and certainty to the sector,” claims Cantuel, who defines as a priority “set clear rules for storage and new vectors, such as hydrogen.” The relationship between electric and the government is enquisted by the 7% tax on the generation. Consumers complain that the distribution toll “far exceeds real network costs.” Defining the rules of a competitive New Spain requires a country plan that puts all interested parties to row in the same direction. Without an ambitious and coordinated plan, today’s abundance could become the precariousness of tomorrow. In Xataka | The light price is … Read more

The price of banana has shot and has taken many by surprise

by

The banana is one of the favorite fruits of the Spaniards if we pay attention to Consumption data. This can explain the concern about the pricing climbing of the Planteanera fruit. Explaining the situation. A concern that recently led the association that encompasses the Canary Islands banana producers to explain why inflationary pressure. He did Through your account of Twitter (X) and in response to a user who He highlighted The fact that bananas of Costa Rican origin are remarkably cheaper than the island banana. In his response, banana from the Canary Islands spoke of “A very complicated situation”Heiress of the passage through the Canarian archipelago of The Dorothea Borrasca. This storm affected the Canary Islands in mid -December 2024, causing damages of different types of producers. The winds of the storm started banana trees and had a direct impact on production, but the storm and their storms also indirectly affected, for example with interruptions in the electrical system. Supply and demand. The result: lower production and with it a rise in prices. “It is not usual, but a reality that is affecting us all, from those who cultivate to those who buy the banana,” indicate In their social networks. The offer has fallen what in principle should lead to higher and lower sales prices. The problem is that the demand for this appreciated fruit is relatively inelastic, which implies that a shockIn the offer it has a greater effect on the prices than on sales: people are willing to pay more for the product. To this we must add another factor, that of exports. According to explained in The newspaper Paco Déniz, former deputy in the Parliament of the Canary Islands by Podemos, the large part of the Canarian production is exported (including the one exported to the Peninsula). 131%. Before the arrival of Dorothea the perspective was another: the expected production was around 450 million tons, a greater figure of the productive thresholds marked by the European Union but lower than the figure achieved in the previous harvest, of 467 million tons. All this, we pointed out, has implied an important escalation in banana prices, especially striking in the fruit of Canarian origin. According to data From the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, between January 27 and the beginning of June, the average price of bananas as a whole has grown by 131%, that is, it is now more than double than in January. A most volatile market. A few months ago we talked about a very different situation. Before the arrival of Borrasca, the problem was in the fact that banana prices did not allow a profitable product. “From January 2023 to October 2024, only in three months of the 22 the banana has had a price that we could call profitable,” We pointed then.

The motorcycle fever of the 2,000 has brought to the absurd the price of the second hand. There are more expensive than 20 years ago

by

The price of second -hand cars It has been triggered for yearsand it is more than usual to find models that cost more today than new four or five years ago. It is a sector that is not alone. The second -hand motorcycle is more expensive than everand it is not necessary to point to especially exclusive editions. Some are selling at exorbitant prices, although with a certain trick. The lucky one. The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade It is one of the icons of the sports motorcycle. Even more in its Repsol version, painted with the colors of the MotoGP team. It was an especially expensive motorcycle, that was sold for 11,799 dollarsabout 14,000 euros in Spain. Inflation has made its own and, 20 years later, this model is sold (the current CBR1000RR-R Fireblade) is sold for 25,500 euros, a price in the line of what the great Japanese manufacturers ask for for their supercar. The price. The revaluation of a unit in perfect condition of this Honda is shocking. One of them was sold in the London Motorcycle Show for 22,000 pounds, just over 26,000 euros to change. In Motorpasion Moto They echo a second unit, with an estimated price of between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds, waiting for a new owner. He never started. To achieve these figures that exceed the original price, some requirements must be met, some of them especially complex. These units are sold as an old concessionaire stock: they have never been started, conducted or enrolled. They are motorcycles with 20 years on their backs, but without use. It’s not just nostalgia. The fever for the 2,000 superbikes is real, and there is nothing more to see the revaluation of most models in Platforms such as Milanuncios. Motorcycles of 20 years ago with prices that touch the 10,000 euros if the unit is in excellent condition and with “few” kilometers. They are motorcycles specially oriented to circuit, they do not have electronics or the restrictions on emissions of current models, and are seen as authentic candies to enjoy driving in their purest state. Beyond the sports motorcycle. Finding second -hand units almost at the same price as new units is not something exclusive to the supercar motorcycle. According to Anesdor datathe average price of the general motorcycle has risen 30% in the last five years. And, to a higher displacement, greater increase in the price.

Byd has opened a new price war in China. The fall of your actions confirms that it is a risky play

Remove muscle or a sign of weakness. That is what we ask ourselves when we see the last Byd movement in China where the company has applied aggressive discounts to its fleet. The movement has been rejected in the markets but shows that the company has strength to stir the market alone. The discounts. Last May 23, Byd announced a significant reduction in its Chinese fleet. In total, 22 cars received discountsincluding the Byd Seagull, the cheapest electricity in the market and one of the company’s great hits in the country, saw its price another 20%. It is the most striking example of discounts that began in April but have intensified in May. In some cases discounts of up to 34%have been established. A drop in actions. The market response, however, has been clear: a drop of 13% of its actions. It is the figure we have since May 23 were announced the discounts. Investors have seen a sign of weakness or, in any case, greater difficulties in taking out performance from vehicles if prices fall so strongly. And a high sales. 382,476 units. That is the number of units sold by byd last May 2025. It is the highest than we have been for the year and took the electric cars (204,369 units) above the plug -in hybrids (172,561 units), which did not happen since the beginning of 2024, they point out in Bloomberg. The growth of BYD sales comes, without a doubt, promoted by the attractive discounts that the company has put in the last week of May that, remember, add to those of April. In the absence of weekly data, so that we get an idea, Carnewschina Collect the data from May 19 to 25. Those days, Byd put 53,320 units of electric cars on the market. The following manufacturer was Tesla with 10,970 units. So? So, investors seem to be worried, among other things, about profitability. In fact, it is the Chinese association of car manufacturers itself that, without naming any manufacturer, has assured that “disorderly price wars intensify fierce competition, even more compressing corporate benefit margins,” according to Bloomberg. The same medium ensures that regulators have given a touch of attention to the company for fear that unleashing a price war can be carried in front of its competition. He always requested, always according to the American media, “loyal competition” to manufacturers not to generate a monopolistic context. An open war. What is clear is that with discounts, ByD opens a price war With the rest of the companies. At the moment, from Great Wall Motors they have assured that maintaining this path is the confirmation that we can attend the “automotive Evergrande”, in words collected by CNEVPOST. Although, again, no concrete names were given, the association points directly to Byd that is one of the manufacturers that does not sell the most cars seems to have in the market. In fact, the media have also reported that regulators have summoned a meeting with manufacturers to work in The treatment of kilometer 0 vehicles. Why has Byd opted for this? There are several reasons that explain why the Chinese company has undertaken an open race to reduce the prices of its cars. It has a large stock of unsold cars to those who need to give way after Their own promises left them obsolete Its great objective is to sell 5.5 million cars. That would force him to get into almost half a million monthly vehicles and he is not getting it at the moment It is an opportunity to clean the market and get companies in competition. Your sales muscle allows you to press more than anyone in the market and take companies to a bankruptcy of which some analysts have not notified time.
