In this sense, the chamber, being that it said it had not received a response from the competent bodies, stated that “the impossibility of transferring foreign currency abroad, given the established quota restriction and the lack of financing alternatives through suppliers or entities banks are generating stock breaks, making the situation critical for the efficiency of the different livestock productions that we represent”.
“In our sector, the entry of micro-ingredients -such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, among others- are essential in the diets of our animals and generate greater efficiency in feed conversion. All these inputs are of imported origin and are not produced in the country. In case of not having them, it will bring about an increase in the cost of production of protein of animal origin (Chicken, Egg, milk, Pork, Beef)”, he continued.
“The different species do not have the nutritional solutions provided by the sector, in terms of intestinal health and medical treatments; if the supply of these micro-ingredients is suspended, it will imply higher mortality rates, greater risk of diseases and suspension of exports. of these same categories that once it has occurred, it is very difficult to reverse it,” he warned.
He even mentioned that “the pet food manufacturing industry would also be affected by these measures, generating as a consequence, lack of stocks, significant cost increases, as well as a sharp rise in prices and a drop and/or suspension in exports”.
Finally, he criticized that “this new regime where only a dollar amount quota of 5% additional to the previous year is allowed, limits the volumes to be imported in an extreme way. This is mainly due to the increase in international prices of these raw materials that are around 30% in dollars compared to the previous year”.
