“Agribusiness production and exports closed the 2020-2022 period with sustained growth in animal proteins, grains, and by-products,” the official commented on the website.
In that message, he expressed that “the country, with the strength of the producers, faced all the difficulties, achieving increases in production and exports.”
Later, in dialogue with Radio 10, Bahillo explained: “When we compare between 2019 and 2022, corn was produced 30% more and 50% more was exported, beef was produced 9% more and 147% more was exported, the same happens with the rest of the meat and dairy.”
“In wheat we had a record harvest in the previous campaign and in this season, due to the drought, we lost almost 30% of production. Soybean oil was exported 8% more and sunflower oil 12% more”, he completed.
In that same interview, the official commented that “the cost of the war for our country was almost 5,100 million dollars, the circumstances that seemed favorable for exports did not occur.
