Monthly imports
Lumpy by nature: June 2026 fell to US$495m, October reached US$2.10bn. Contract timing, not seasonality.
Price per kilo
US$ 1.07 per kg in 2026 against US$ 0.66 in 2025, +63%. That is the part a volume-only reading misses: part of the 45% increase is more diesel, part is a higher price per tonne.

What it means
Diesel is now a two-supplier market: the US at 48% and Russia at 35%, with India and the UAE covering most of the rest. That is more balanced than the crude oil picture, where Russia and Nigeria dominate.
The unit price rising 63% while volume grows means the import bill is being driven by price as much as by demand. A buyer watching only tonnes will understate the exposure.
Itaqui, Paranagua and Santos carry the flow, which matters for anyone modelling freight or storage.
