We believed that the price of coffee could not rise much more. The diplomatic “war” between Colombia and the US thinks otherwise

by

Of the tens of thousands of words that make up the English lexicon, Donald Trump has one that he especially likes and for which he has declared his love in some or other interview: tariff (tariff). This weekend he reminded the Colombian president of this in a quite practical way, threatening to impose 25% rates (or even 50%) if he did not give in to the aggressive immigration policy which is promoted from the White House. Everything indicates that it will remain that way, a threat, but it serves to warm up a market that has been facing strong shocks for months. turbulence: the one with coffee. Yes 2025 It looked complicated For lovers of morning espressos, your outlook has just become more complicated. What has happened? That Trump has shown that, indeed, he feels a special weakness for the word “tariff.” Over the last few weeks it has announced more or less clearly that it will apply taxes on imports of China, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Denmark and even Spainalthough it is still not entirely clear whether the latter was said deliberately or as a result of a geographical ‘slip’. Curiously, it has been another country that has been on the verge of suffering tariff fury from the republican: Colombia. Screenshot of Trump’s announcement on Truth Social. Why’s that? For something that actually has little to do with the international market, trade balances and tax policy. The trigger has been migration. And a political fight between Washington and Bogotá. Basically, yesterday the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, refused to allow two planes from the US loaded with deported Colombians to land in his country. What’s more, he threatened not to welcome them until Trump adopts protocols that guarantee treatment. “with dignity and respect” for immigrants. The response of the Republican, who has managed to return to the White House after an electoral campaign that largely pivoted on a hardening of immigration policy, it did not take long to wait: through its platform Truth Social advertisement a 25% rate for the import of Colombian merchandise that would rise to 50% in a matter of days. Petro responded after a few hours with the same currencyordering a sudden increase (25%) in the tariffs that Bogotá applies to US goods. How did the crash end? In dispatches and without reaching customs. At least for now. Despite its initial reaction, the Petro Executive ended up giving in to Washington’s demands and agreed to receive the planes with deportees. Enough so that Trump has not yet signed the economic sanctions, which have already been drafted and will be activated if his southern neighbor “does not comply” with the agreement. “The Government of Colombia has accepted all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returning from the US,” they boast from the White House, which reminds that Bogotá will also receive them “without limitations or delay.” Click on the image to go to the tweet. What does it have to do with coffee? Simple. The announcement of Trump’s tariffs and the fight between the White House and the Nariño Palace did more than shake up American diplomacy. He also put on guard various sectors Colombians who have important interests in the United States, such as oil, floriculture (which is preparing for the millionaire campaign Valentine’s Day) and coffee. Of all of them, the one more expectation generatesdue to the state of its market and price driftis the latter. At the end of the day, Colombia is not just any country on the international coffee map. And the United States is not just another market for Colombian producers either. This double condition means that everything that affects the relationship between the two, including of course the threats of 25% tariffs or even 50%, interest (and quite a bit) to the market. But… What does the data say? To begin with, Colombia is one of the main coffee powers on the planet. The own tables The US Department of Agriculture places it as the third largest producer, only behind Brazil and Vietnam. Other observatories leave the same drawing, like Statista. A 2024 reportThe USDA office, linked to the US Government, estimated that during the 2024/2025 campaign, Colombian coffee exports would total around 12 million GBE bags. Colombia matters on the global coffee map. And its relationship with the United States is also important, something that is better understood with the help of a couple of figures. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), in 2022 Colombia exported 15.6 billion dollars to the US, of which almost 1.8 billion corresponded to coffee. This data makes it the second largest exported commodity in terms of value, only behind crude oil. The footprint of Colombia in the flow of coffee that reaches the US is also considerable. Click on the image to go to the tweet. But the rate would affect the US, right? The US tariff policy is that, the US tariff policy, and as warned The New York Times Yesterday, basically imposing 25% taxes on Colombian goods would mean that Americans would have to dig deeper into their pockets to buy flowers and coffee. However, if we talk about grain, what happens on the other side of the Atlantic interests us. And the reason is very simple: shocks like the one on Sunday put even more tension on a market that is already go through turbulence. “If the US imposes a 25% tariff on all Colombian exports, the already red-hot coffee market will heat up even more. Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in the world (and a key source of rabi beans). premium)”, I was reflecting yesterday in X Javier Blas, Bloomberg columnist. In the same tweet he included a column written by himself a few days ago in which he warned of the complex panorama facing the coffee market. And what situation is that? In Xataka we have talked already several times her. And it is summed up … Read more

The price of energy that its chips factory is using in Ireland

by

The tuning of an advanced semiconductor factory equipped with machines with avant -garde lithography It costs up to 30,000 million euros. This is precisely what will cost the plant that Intel will build in Magdeburg (Germany) If the project finally goes ahead. And, as we tell you at the beginning of last November, this company has decided delay the start of construction of this factory until 2029 or 2030. Initially the works were going to start during the first half of 2023, but The negotiation of subsidies forced to delay this date until the summer of 2024. However, Finally Intel and the German government agreed as a construction start date May 2025. Anyway, the four or five years of lag planned by this company are a consequence of the delicate situation in The one that is intel. The cost of energy is crucial to preserve the competitiveness of a factory The center of the conversation on this occasion is not occupied by the Magdeburg plant, although we stay in Europe; It is monitored by the factory that Intel has in Leixlip (Ireland). These facilities began producing integrated avant -garde circuits In the Intel 4 node In September 2023, and they are also manufacturing semiconductors in the Intel 3 node. This plant is equipped with equipment of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) produced by the Dutch company ASML, and has a fundamental role in Intel infrastructure to serve its European clients. Intel is paying for electricity in Ireland that in the US or Israel As we have seen in the first lines of this article, the cost derived from the tuning of a last niche plant is very high, but, in addition, Intel has just stumbled with a problem in his Leixlip factory: The price of electricity in Ireland. According to this US company, this cost amounts to 15 cents per kilovatio houra figure that is approximately double high as in the US or Israel, which are the venues of some of its most advanced semiconductor production plants. As we can intuit, the price of electricity paid a chip factory has a direct impact on the final cost of the integrated circuits it produces. And, therefore, also in its competitiveness. Intel has rushed to ensure that the future of the Leixlip plant is assured due to the very important role he plays in his infrastructure, but in Rte They argue that he is negotiating with the Irish government to find a way to reduce the cost of electricity that he is currently paying. Presumably it is likely that the State finally assume a part of the cost of energy. Image | Intel More information | Rte In Xataka | The US does not press only Nvidia and Asml against China.

Malaysia came up with the idea of ​​painting its roads fluorescent to illuminate them at night. The problem was the price

by

In February 2024 we saw that the continuous line of a good part of the A-355, one of the roads with more accidents of Spanish territory, dawned with a thick continuous red line. It was a pilot measure by the DGT to highlight the prohibition of overtaking on that road. A few weeks earlier, a similar program was developed in Malaysia: repainting the road markings of certain roads with a photoluminescent paint. Not even a year has passed and it seems that they will not continue painting. The reason? It is too expensive, which has raised the question of… and they hadn’t thought of that before? The pilot. In mid-November 2023, the Government of Malaysia advertisement the launch of a pilot program that aimed to highlight the lines of certain roads. Using photoluminescent paint with the ability to glow at night. The authorities commented that these initiatives were suitable for dark areas that lacked public lighting. The lines shine for 10 hours and, in case of heavy rain, they also give off a certain shine that helps make them more visible, allowing drivers to stay in their lane. The images leave no room for doubt: it looks much better than the traditional white line, also better than reflective indicators. The project attracted attention. Initially, only 245 meters of road were painted at one intersection, representing about 490 meters of road markings, but other states began to carry out their own tests. Almost 20 times more expensive. The problems came practically from the beginning. The Malaysian Ministry of Works already warned that they were going to be very attentive to the results of the pilot program and the ability to paint on other roads, since the price of the new paint could be a problem. And so much so that it has ended up being an inconvenience. From the Ministry of Works reported that conventional paint costs about 40 ringgit per square meter, about 8.65 euros. Photoluminescent paint costs 749 ringgit per square meter, more than 160 euros. It costs 19 times more per square meter. Putting on the brake. Despite the enthusiasm with which the population received the measure, Malaysia’s deputy labor minister, Ahmad Maslan, commented a few weeks ago that it was not likely that they would continue painting. “The cost is too high, so we probably won’t continue with glow-in-the-dark lanes,” stated. It is curious when, months before, 31 roads had been identified that could have received this type of paint. Maslan stated that the tests did not meet the expectations of the ministry’s experts, without giving further explanations. Questions and suspicions. This is part of the eternal debate about priorities, budget and security, since we must remember that the areas that were going to receive this type of paintings are wooded and lack lighting, making it dangerous to travel through them due to interactions between humans. as by the action of animals crossing each other. And, evidently, the news has raised suspicions of corruption in local mediawith users who wondered if they didn’t know all this before starting the pilot project, what are those expectations that the painting has failed to meet… and that someone will have filled their pockets with the initial contract.

China set up its own “OPEC of solar panels” to avoid an internal price war. It came out regular

by

If there is currently a power in renewables, it is China. The country installs 60% of the world’s renewable capacity and has huge projects underway like his ‘Solar Great Wall‘, he largest wind turbine in the world and ambitious plans offshore energy both wind and photovoltaic. In the solar energy segment there are so many companies competing for the same piece of the pie that even the biggest ones are drowning. And with problems everywhere, the industry wanted to emulate the oil sector with a great self-control pact. The first attempt has gone wrong. Saturation. The storm began in 2021. It was the year in which China presented its net zero emissions plan for 2060 with a very ambitious goal: at least 1,200 GW of solar and wind capacity installed by 2030. Energy companies got down to business , but there were also companies not endemic to the energy sector that jumped on the bandwagon of what aimed to be a very lucrative business. The problem is that it was carried out without apparent control, with everyone fighting the war on their own. The result? Large projects throughout the country and such a beastly production of solar panels that it has stifled companies from outside Chinabut also an annual production capacity of around 1,200 GW of panels. So we don’t all fit. This might seem good, but it is not: it represents double global demand in 2024 and is more than expected for 2030. The situation pushed many companies to deduct prices, sometimes below costs, creating a kind of ‘Ice Age’ of the photovoltaic sector with companies such as GLC Tecnology – the second solar company in China and one of the largest in the energy sector– asking the state for help. The reason is that the prices of the entire production chain (from silicon to photovoltaic modules) had fallen below costs and companies were losing money with each sale. As we read In South China Morning Post, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, or CPIA, estimates that prices in each segment of the panel supply chain fell between 60% and 80% in 2024 from their peak in 2023. Following in the footsteps of OPEC. The problem is that demand also did not follow the trend. According to the energy think tank Ember, global solar installations grew by 29% in 2024 compared to 87% in 2023. In China alone, the expected growth in 2024 was 28%, far from 55% the previous year. In addition, 39 of the 121 publicly traded photovoltaic producers, reported losses in Chinaand giants like Longo Green Energy had to lay off 5% of their workforce. It was necessary to take control of this unlimited production, and it is something that was attempted to be tackled at the CPIA meeting in December of last year. In the la, 33 of the main manufacturers signed a self-control commitment based, according to SCMP, on the agreements of the OPEC -Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries-. The idea was to agree on production quotas based on their capacity, respect the minimum recommended price established by the Association and, with this, wait for the market to regulate itself. First problems. It is curious that, just two weeks after the signing of that self-control pact, the CPIA issued an open letter criticizing a solar project in Xinjiang that was violating the agreement. The problem? The company, a subsidiary of the China Energy Investment Group, set a price “significantly lower” than the 0.68 yuan – about 0.09 euros – per watt stipulated by the CPIA. It is something that has weakened the morale of an industry that considered an OPEC-style pact as one of the last realistic resources to save solar-related companies and jobs in the country before taking actions that end with closures and layoffs. The Government puts its hand. This is something that worries government institutions and companies themselves because a negative climate in which companies are operating at a loss or without achieving financial objectives can have a disastrous consequence: compromising the quality of the panels and the industry, prevent innovation and, therefore, make China blur what has been achieved in recent years, disappearing the competitive advantage and causing the loss of talent. And the CPIA is not the only one that has tried to control the situation. The central government also imposed some measures to curb the expansion, such as increasing minimum capital requirements for new panel manufacturing projects from 20% to 30%, lower export tax rebates, and stricter limits on water and energy consumption. . For example, the permitted electricity consumption for existing manufacturers was reduced from 80 kWh/kg to 60 kWh/kg. It’s complicated. The problem is that the industry is, at this point, too big. With the new government measures on energy use, it is estimated that production capacity will be between 20% to 30%. But the problem is, as Jessica Jin – an analyst at S&P Global – points out, that the main obstacle will be controlling all the factories in the country to ensure that they comply with the measures. In the end, what is happening in China is something that has been brewing for months: they lead the solar panel market (by a lot), but they have grown without control and this accelerated boom is currently being regulated based on demand both internal and external.

Little remained to be revealed about the new Tesla Model Y Juniper after will begin to be sold in China and we knew that its production had already begun in Berlin. However, some unknowns remained to be resolved that now, with all the official information, have already been revealed. Autonomy? Power? Lever for turn signals? We already have all the details of what we will see with the renewed Tesla Model Y. Yes, the Tesla Model Y Juniper. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? Tesla Model Y Juniper technical sheet Tesla Model Y Juniper BODY TYPE. five-seater SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 4,790 meters long, 1,982 meters wide and 1,624 meters high. 1,997 kg weight. TRUNK.

First deliveries from March. The turn signal lever returns… but it comes with a surprise It was one of the big doubts, will the turn signal lever return? With the Tesla Model 3 renewalElon Musk’s company decided to eliminate all types of physical controls in the driver’s position. Such was the cleanliness that it took away the transmission control (which ended up on the screen) and the turn signal lever (which took over two buttons on the steering wheel). The drivers did not seem to like the solution. In Xataka We had the opportunity to test it and we can safely say that it was a mistake to eliminate this lever. Perhaps in the United States, where intersections are a religion, the change in philosophy is not so problematic but in Europe, where we are subscribed to roundabouts, finding the correct turn signal in the middle of a turn was really problematic. Tesla has chosen to keep this turn signal lever on the new Tesla Model Y Juniper. Instead, the steering wheel buttons are now customizable “for quick access to the most used functions of the vehicle”, an interesting solution to take advantage of the space that would have been used by the turn signals. Direction changes will require going through the vehicle’s screen. Aesthetically, this was the last big question to resolve. The car has already been seen enough, with a new layout in its optical groupsnow joined by a thin light strip at the front and occupying the entire rear width. Inside there are notable changes beyond the new layout of the command post. The windows are acoustic and Tesla says it has improved the vehicle’s soundproofing. Now, rolling noise is perceived by 22% less and aerodynamic noise by 20%. They also explain that new insulating materials have been added. In addition, the new glass reflects 26% less solar rays. In the rear seats, occupants now have an eight-inch screen. With it you can control the climate controls, which are integrated into it, and the vehicle’s entertainment system, as well as play games, audio or video. It also allows dual integration of two Bluetooth devices and has two USB-C sockets with 65W charging capacity. Elon Musk’s company boasts of having made small but numerous improvements, such as changes to the seats to make them more comfortable or new speakers to improve the acoustic experience. Although especially interesting is the improvement in the hardware of the infotainment system that guarantees a 50% faster speed in downloading files or streaming but, above all, a 200% greater range, which will make it difficult for the car to become isolated in garages and underground parking lots. Regarding its launch mechanics, the Tesla Model Y will be sold exclusively in the Long Range version with all-wheel drive. That is, the one with a 514 HP engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 201 km/h. It is combined with a 75 kWh battery to approve 568 km of autonomy. Under the name Tesla Model Y Launch Series, the car can now be ordered from the Tesla website with a starting price of 60,990 euros. The first deliveries will arrive in March and later the revision of the model will reach the rest of the mechanics.

features, price and technical sheet

One of BYD’s most anticipated electric cars is already among us. After months of rumors and being presented at the Brussels Motor Show, the BYD Atto 2 can now be reserved for pre-sale in Spain. The electric city car arrives with a battery that limits it to the city and its surroundings or very small weekend getaways but with the promise of expanding equipment and battery size in the coming months. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? BYD Atto 2 technical sheet byd atto 2 BODY TYPE. Five-seater urban SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 4,310 meters long, 1,830 meters wide and 1,675 meters high. Wheelbase of 2,620 meters TRUNK. 400 liters.

No. electric Yes. 130 kW (177 HP) front motor and 45.1 kWh capacity battery. price and launch Now available from 26,780 euros before aid from the MOVES III Plan Space or autonomy, that is the question The BYD Atto 2 arrives with BYD’s own peculiarities. LFP battery, a very high technological load and a car that, in short, is above rivals in price. But, also, an adjusted autonomy compared to other options of its size. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show, it was announced that, over the next few weeks, we would know the exact equipment that would arrive in each market. Now we know which one will arrive in Spain in its Urban X Edition, the launch version that It is now available on the BYD website for pre-sale. Thus, we know that the cabin will be dominated by the classic rotating screen which in this case is in 10.1 inches. We do not know, however, if it brings the new infotainment system that we have already seen in models like the BYD Sealion 7. Likewise, its website informs us that it has proximity and blind spot sensors, with technology to alert the driver in a parking lot before opening the door. This type of aid will be added, at least, to the mandatory by the European Unionsuch as emergency braking or rear camera. These are, for now, the confirmations we have for Spain but in the coming days we should know more confirmed details about the equipment of the company’s urban electric car. During its presentation at the Brussels Motor Show it was confirmed that the car measures 4,310 meters long1,830 meters wide and 1,675 meters high. Despite its long wheelbase of 2,620 meters, it is positioned below the BYD Atto 3, being 145 mm shorter and 45 mm narrower. The car is built on the Cell to Body architecture and the e-Platform 3.0 with the Blade Battery. All this translates into a construction that makes better use of the vehicle’s interior space, integrating the battery into the vehicle’s chassis and taking advantage of it as the floor of the vehicle. The battery, to begin with, is 45.1 kWh capacity and is combined with a 130 kW (177 HP) electric motor. On paper it will deliver 312 kilometers of electric autonomy, according to the WLTP cycle. BYD has announced that a higher capacity battery will arrive in the coming months to expand the capabilities of the vehicle. At its launch, the BYD Atto 2 is sold with a starting price of 19,780 euros with the MOVES III Plan aid included. The company advances the 7,000 euros of aid with an interest-free loan to be repaid within nine months after the purchase. Without these aids, the car starts at 26,780 euros. With that price, those looking for a car to be used in the city get much more space than with a Renault 5which starts from exactly that same money, with a 40 kWh battery and without fast charging. However, when compared to rivals by size, a Kia EV3 It offers much more autonomy (436 kilometers with a 58.3 kWh battery) in exchange, of course, for being significantly more expensive since it starts at above 33,000 euros. Whoever approaches, therefore, the BYD Atto 2 must assess whether you do it by price or by size and autonomy. With the current configuration, the interior is expected to be more comfortable and spacious than electric cars that compete with this model in price. However, due to size, its rivals offer more autonomy in exchange for, yes, a higher price.
