The Olmeca refinery in Dos Bocas, Tabasco, produced 83.1 thousand barrels per day of diesel in February, accounting for 27.85% of national output from Pemex's seven refineries. This contributed to cutting diesel imports to the lowest level in 17 years and starting exports. Diesel prices have risen in both Mexico and the United States.
