While dialogue with this medium, they approach producers of various parts of the country, referents of the Trade stock marketeither media characters that carry surnames of great importance in national history, such as Esmeralda Miterto greet him for his perfomance at the event, which will last until July 27.
Pine is limited to answering any comments that generate minimal speculation capable of resonating strong in the power sectors. Is that the proximity for the Electoral day It forces to keep caution in the statements, more when August will be a month where the end of the decline in retentions is perceived more intensity and this is a central issue in each meeting between the field and the government.
The head of the MR is not clear if 2026 will be the year in which goodbye to export rights are told.
“I hope they tell us“, responds to the possibility of this, as mentioned by the Minister of Economy Luis Caputoon May 24: “In a year you can go withholdings and in two years the withholdings and the check tax”, Said in the Córdoba Commerce.
Pino understands that the government is directed towards this end, but knows that the elimination of fiscal resources They can hardly be compensated quickly: By case, it emphasizes that the Voting in Congress of financing projects to universities, hospitals or recomposition to retirees, “It generates certain decouples“In public accounts.
In turn, he assures that exchange rate movements, that located the price near $ 1300, “It does not directly favor“To the sectors that suffer less profitability, such as soy and corn cultivation, although it celebrates that,” after many years, “Argentina”has achieved a single exchange rate“
Next, the full interview with the president of MSR, who also responds by the link between industry and the sectorthe privatization of public works And what generates Argentina as Added value.
PerIodista.: During an event in the Córdoba Stock Exchange, Caputo slid that the next year could eliminate withholdings. Do you see that possibility feasible?
Nicolás Pino. Did she really say that?
P.: Yes, in the third week of May.
NP: From the personal, my opinion does not have much validity, but what I do is that this government has been raising, since it assumed, what the president said: to eliminate this tax so distortive that the only thing that generates is lower investment and lower production. The road clearly marked from the beginning. So, it will be when it is, but I have no doubt that the course is towards zero retentions.
Q.: Wouldn’t it be important to draw an estimated term?
NP: Hopefully they tell us, of course. But handling the numbers of the sector, we also know that this country has a lot of dynamism. What happened in these last days in Congress will surely generate certain decouple. Not in us, but in government. So we’ll see.
Q.: During his speech at the CPI, he mentioned that there are sectors that today have more profitability than others. Which ones are more harmed?
NP: Agricultural production, in particular soybeans and corn. Much of that agriculture, almost 60 or 65%, develops in rented fields. And when you combine that with historically low international prices, retentions of 33%, and the famous “Argentine cost”, the numbers become really very fine.
Q.: And which one is doing better?
NP: Today livestock is in a better situation. Those of us who dedicate ourselves to raising cows or fattening steers are somewhat more relieved.
Q.: Does the exchange rate movement favor the sectors with low profitability that you mention?
NP: Not directly. To us, as producers, what really favors us is to have achieved, after many years, a single exchange rate. Beyond the value, the fact that today we can sell what we produce and buy supplies with the same exchange rate gives us predictability. That is positive.
Q.: During the event he also warned that one of the big problems that Argentina has today is infrastructure. There was even talk of the presidential desire to privatize her. Do you think That this initiative could optimize the system?
NP: I think the government has to look for are solutions. And one of those it raises is that the private sector intervenes. Hopefully it is possible, because it is very necessary. I do not speak only of privatizing, but that someone occupies infrastructure with the means that is. But you have to do something.
Q.: What is the role of the industrial sector in the agricultural? At the time, Milei had mentioned that the industry favored the field. Does that tension continue to exist?
NP: That no longer exists. It was understood that one needs from the other, and vice versa. There is no productive field without a flourishing industry. You just have to get into the La Rural Pavilion where agricultural machinery is: that is a pure industry. And it doesn’t matter to be in Buenos Aires or Germany.
Q.: The discussion results in the importance of added value.
NP: I think that discussion was already in the past. When you sow a seed, that seed already has added value: it has technology, investment, development. So I leave that to some governments that they talked about I don’t know what …
