Bolivia hydrocarbons watch
Bolivia's state hydrocarbons company YPFB kicked off its previously announced sale of urea to small and medium-sized clients, starting in the city of Santa Cruz.
Customers may buy as little as a 50kg bag at 146 bolivianos (US$21) to 20t at the distribution point, which has capacity to store 150t, said YPFB, which added that larger volumes are sold at the Bulo Bulo ammonia and urea plant in Cochabamba.
A sales point will be opened in Sucre in the coming days.

Marcelo Pantoja, president of the country's oilseeds and wheat producers association Anapo, said that a plant to produce ethanol from sorghum in Santa Cruz is under construction and will enter service in July-August.
The US$5mn plant will be the country's "first" such facility and will have capacity to produce 5Ml with 14,000-15,000t of sorghum/year, state news agency ABI quoted Pantoja as saying.
