Likewise, as reported to Infobae this year there was an increase in the production of the plant in relation to 2021, which increased the request for dollars to import supplies. However, the quota of dollars available, following the regulations of the Central Bank, did not allow the purchase of the necessary supplies, mostly from Brazil.

How much does it make?

The Eldorado factory produces around 14,000 pairs of shoes per day and employs 587 people. Grupo Dass also announced that in the other industrial plant located in Coronel Suárez, work continues without alterations.

Last August, the company was on the verge of laying off 100 of its workers due to this problem. However, he reversed the decision and there were no dismissals.

The delegate of the Union of Workers of the Footwear Industry (UTICRA), Darío Vera, explained that they hope that “in the next few days” the materials will arrive to resume activities. “Layoffs ruled out. Dialogue is ongoing and the parties are willing to prevent this from happening. We are comfortable with that. We know that both the soles and the sealed part come from Brazil. The payment has to be in dollars, and due to the lack of these, you cannot have”, Vera indicated, according to the portal La Voz de Misiones.
