Mexican company barters corn for Venezuelan oil
Libre Abordo SA, a privately owned Mexican company with no prior experience in the oil trade, has begun bartering corn and water trucks with Venezuelan state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. Libre Abordo has so far taken 6.2 million barrels of Venezuelan heavy crude for resale in international markets and has two more cargoes of oil and fuel due to be loaded this month.
