“So far we have not had any results.” said Achetoni, who stated that despite this “we are going to continue insisting” on the dialogue with the government.
The president of the Agrarian Federation stated that the Liaison Table does not intend to discuss circumstantial measures with the government whose purpose is only to accelerate the liquidation of dollars by producers. “The improvements have to be structural, we are not in a position to accept short-term improvements,” he explained.
Achetoni referred to the new scheme devised by the Central Bank, called soybean dollar which consists of the producer accessing 30% in dollars at the official value and the rest in a deposit in pesos adjustable to the exchange rate.
“We do not see the soybean dollar viable”, pointed out Achetoni, who not only referred to the complications that producers have to carry out the type of financial operation that the BCRA has, but also that there is a political issue.
Achetoni said that if the Liaison Table accepted the scheme devised by Miguel Pesce, the head of the Central, “we are validating a much higher blue” for which he considered that “there must be a narrowing of the gap” between the official and the dollars parallels.
For the ruralist leader, the solution has to be “a narrowing of the gap, because this is what has become naturalized and is what has been seriously affecting the competitiveness of any production.”
In this regard, the ruralist leader considered that both for the field and for other types of activities “it has been quite complete to have two currencies” since in his opinion for the government “it is nice when they bring the dollars but it hurts when they have to go” .
“It doesn’t make sense that we have a price that makes our producers profitable and another when they have to buy the inputs,” he said.
On the other hand, the head of the Argentine Agrarian Federation said that “it makes no sense” for the government to continue to maintain restrictions on the sale of beef abroad, recalling that it is one of the foods that maintained the most price stability in the last few months and that there is sufficient supply.
Beyond that, Achetoni He did not rule out the chance that the rural entities will return to the protests in the event that no progress is made in the dialogue with the Ministry of Economy.”
