YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Inflation and FX constraints reshape chemical economics
- Annual inflation reached 117.8% in 2024, while shifting FX rules and import access can quickly alter the landed cost of feedstocks, equipment and additives.
- YCP pairs scenario-led pricing and cash-flow models with sourcing and inventory choices, helping teams protect margins while maintaining production continuity.
Turning Vaca Muerta feedstock into reliable advantage
- Vaca Muerta now supplies more than half of Argentina’s natural gas, yet pipeline capacity, contract terms and regional price gaps complicate feedstock planning.
- YCP evaluates supply options, demand forecasts and plant economics to translate growing gas availability into resilient procurement and investment decisions.
Managing chemical compliance across 24 jurisdictions
- Chemical businesses must align national rules with requirements across 23 provinces and Buenos Aires City, including hazardous-waste, transport and labeling obligations.
- YCP maps obligations by product and site, prioritizes compliance gaps and embeds practical governance so regulatory readiness supports commercial execution.
Making chemical supply chains work beyond core hubs
- Road transport moves roughly 90% of domestic freight in Argentina, exposing hazardous-material flows to high logistics costs, distance and service variability.
- YCP redesigns networks, inventory policies and distributor models, balancing service, safety and cost from plants and ports to end-use markets.
