The creation of trusts seems to be the tool that the Government found in these hours to deal with the rise in prices. To those in force for wheat and oil, official sources anticipated this medium, which will add one for the fruit and vegetable chain. The fund, which could be endowed with some $650 million, will initially focus on advancing purchases of tomatoes, potatoes and onions.
According to a senior official in advance to Ámbito, estimates indicate that with this policy the planting of potatoes will increase by 300 hectares, tomato by 100 hectares and onion by 150. In this way, they aim to carry out future purchases to stabilize the prices of the Central Market, avoid abrupt jumps that occur out of season and that this is transferred to the greengrocers.
On the last point, official sources acknowledge that the State currently lacks control tools. In this sense, efforts will be redoubled and they will point to territorial collaboration to have more presence in local businesses. At the same time, a policy of taking products from the Central Market directly to the municipalities will be carried out.
The program in question is already underway, it is called “Central Market in your Neighborhood” and it works, for example, in the city of Santa Rosa, in La Pampa. The idea of the president of the Central Market, Nahuel Levaggi, is that this be replied in different parts of the country: “The concrete possibility is there, we are going to take it forward.”
The new measures will be announced in the coming days and will be in charge of Feletti. In addition to the basket of fruits and vegetables, the Government seeks to consolidate a plan with mass consumption products to control prices in nearby stores. The initiative would replicate the mechanics of Super Cerca, the program launched by Paula Español, where the products had their prices printed on the packaging.
