For consumers, there will be a 10% discount on purchases at butcher shops. For this, a posnet will be delivered to the premises and the client must pay with the debit card, where $100 of every $1,000 spent will be credited directly to the client’s account. “The discount is given to the buyer automatically and is credited directly to his account,” official sources explained.
In addition to pocket relief, the AFIP has an interest in reaching a sector that is estimated to be managed at a “very high” level of informal sales. All the agreements with the meat had been carried out with the supermarkets, and did not reach local businesses. The incentive to butcher is that if you stick, you’re going to have a 90% discount on the monthly fee for the self-employed category. The duration of the system will be for 1 year. The third measure will be to try to expand the offer. Producers of up to 70 heads will be paid half of the fattening costs of what is going to be slaughtered in feedlots.
Some other measure could also arise in the next meeting to be held with exporting refrigerators, which is expected to be tense. They asked to make it more flexible the measure that prohibits the export of 7 cuts throughout 2023, but as Ámbito learned, it will continue. In addition, Economy will recriminate them for “cheating”: there is a legal complaint for under-invoicing of exports that led to a million-dollar evasion. Without a specific reference to the subject, Massa mentioned in the CCK: “We have the challenge of retaining bellies, increasing slaughter, fattening cattle and increasing the supply. And expose those who cheat the State, because under-invoicing is a distorting element for the internal market”.
salary agreement
CGT sources anticipated that in mid-February they plan to meet with Massa, on an “open agenda.” Although the Government assures that “it does not set parity ceilings”, the union center hopes that there will be a request to moderate the nominality. The unions will accept only for cases where the agreements are “under review”, with reopening in the second semester. This Thursday there will be a meeting at the Ministry of Labor for the banking parity, key to marking the beginning of the electoral year, of a strong union, whose leader (Sergio Palazzo) he is very close to the vice president Cristina Kirchner.
The relationship between Massa and the CGT “is very good,” they say in Economy. It was Héctor Daer, head of the CGT, who opened the speeches in the Fair Prices announcement. He spoke to “comrade Sergio”, and although he assured that they will not resign “never the freedom of parity”He also added: “As we have a history in the labor movement, we are going to go with the necessary responsibility so that these initiatives are successful.”
Also Daniel Funes de Riojapresident of the UIA, said in his speech at the CCK that it is a “defender” of parities, but he also addressed the unions: “From the business side we contribute to predictability, but this is an effort that must be made by all of us, you will say, what will happen to the parities? I trust that we are going to sit down, there will be scratches, but we will look for solutions ”.
Schools, tourism and frescoes
In the announcement for the renewal of Fair Prices, Massa anticipated that this week there will be more measures. For the case of collegesindicated that this Wednesday the Federal Education Council will establish a single criterion for the entire country with authorized increases for fees with a path of 3.5%.
For the case of fruits and vegetables, Massa indicated: “We are assisting producers due to drought and frost, which impacts family spending. There will be an approach in the Central Market with this topic”. Although there was some idea to include fruits and vegetables in Fair Prices in supermarkets, in the end it did not advance.
Only in 2022, fruits increased 129.1% and vegetables 174.4%, according to INDEC, and in January they led again. Funes de Rioja, president of the chamber that groups food companies (Copal), made reference to this point during his speech, to defend the companies he represents: “Prices at the factory go up less than consumer prices. And I mark what fruits, vegetables and meats are going to influence, and they are factors that we cannot influence ourselves”.
With respect to tourism, this month there will be meetings between the Government and businessmen in the sector to outline a price agreement for the next Previaje. The measures will be taken in February since registration for providers opens in March and the sales window for tourists, who will be able to travel in May and June.
