# U.S. tariffs on biodiesel set to rise

> The U.S. is set to raise tariffs on Argentine biodiesel, with the practical effect expected in August after a WTO dumping case is resolved. The dispute centers on Argentina's export subsidies, which favor biodiesel over soy oil, and the case is expected to be decided in January.

## Why it matters

Losing the U.S. biodiesel outlet redirects Argentine soy oil toward other markets and has only a small direct impact on U.S. soy oil prices, since the affected trade is about $1 million.
