| Increases in petroleum prices have affected the prices of its derived products. In addition, the interest in issues related to the environment and energy security at world-wide level has been increased. All of these factors have contributed to the development of alternative fuel such as the ethanol, biodiesel and natural gas. This study analyzes the main agricultural products used to produce biodiesel, their production costs and the utilization of those inputs in other industries. This study will also include a brief summary of different legislations in those countries under analysis. On the other hand, we will find break-even points and apply a sensibility analysis associated with distinct scenarios in terms of input-output prices. |

| During negotiations leading up to NAFTA there was considerable opposition from produce producers in U.S. southern tier states. These producers feared that NAFTA, combined with Mexico's low labour and land costs, would unleash an unstoppable torrent of Mexican imports. Since enactment of NAFTA, Mexico's market share for produce in the U.S. has increased, while those of the southern tier producers have fallen. Seemingly this confirms earlier fears and threatens to harden sentiments against broader trade agreements. However, analyses of the volumes and distributions of produce shipments from 1985 through 1998 for southern tier states, Mexico, and, to facilitate comparisons, Canada and Chile, suggest that NAFTA had little, if anything, to do with these changes. |
