Argentina’s Macroeconomic Situation Argentina’s economic situation is growing more complex every day. Both external and internal factors (inflation, foreign exchange, political risk, etc.) are playing against each other, and the approaching presidential elections are only increasing the volatility. The Argentine peso dropped more than 2 percent in one day last week, and inflation is approaching 55 percent annually. The government is doing all it can to control the latter, but that requires money (in USD), which is the main reason for the rumors about changes in export licenses.

From WPI Consulting
Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
