In dialogue with CNN Radio, he highlighted that the program has arisen from the Government’s agreement with producers and distributors, and the commitment of the private sector: “These 1,700 products were agreed, they were not placed by force. I think so, yes If all the companies invest a part of their portfolio, which is very little of their portfolio, 1% or 2% of their portfolio, none of them will do serious damage if the price escapes a bit. Here it is always about will, I think I saw a lot of will yesterday“.
Asked about the questions of some industrial sectors about the supply capacity, Fera shot: “Since I can remember, the UIA has always been against everything, it has never been such important support for anything. The UIA is here to ask, never to give. Those who make up the UIA were the most benefited by all governments of Argentina with debts that they did not pay, debt in dollars that they pesified, and yet they are always complaining, maybe you have to change the UIA, remove that old system. It was always managed by the same people, the same businessmen, who have forgiven their debts in dollars, pesos, the national State has done them favors.”
Finally he finished: “They are very good critics, very good marketers to ask for, but never to give.”
Regarding the causes of the increase in food prices, Fera explains that he sees a cause: “If you add monopoly up and cartelization down, you get corruption. There is more corruption in food than in public works, I have been saying this for many years. Here it is not known how much corruption is. The only thing I know is that we sell the most expensive package of rice or grass in the world.”
Fera trusts that the gondolas law can offer a more effective solution to stop the rise in food: “If there were a Gondolas law, it would be much cheaper. It happens that these corporations have a lot of money so that the laws are not applied. Now we are going to have a new law that must be cut the meat into three or four pieces for offloading to the butcher shop. That’s going to make butchers poor and destitute, and corporations like ABC (the meat export consortium) more billionaires than they are.”
“You apply the Gondolas law and you are going to see how prices are going to fall to pieces”he underlined.
Lastly, when asked about the possibility that the industry will not be able to supply the quotas agreed in the program, Fera is convinced that there is a supply margin and that, if there were not, it would be a matter of will: “Surplus supply capacity. The products were not there (in other price control programs) because the company was out of stock, not because it did not have productive capacity. There is a factory of more”.
