The Ministry of Agriculture extended until May 29 the deadline for the presentation of the Affidavits of Sale Abroad (DJVE) that should be completed this month, through resolution 154/2023, published today in the Official Gazette.
In this way, it modified subparagraph a of article 6 of decree 194/2023 that launched the third edition of the Export Increase Program at the beginning of April, and which established that the DJVE of the currencies settled in April should be presented in the same month.
With the new measure, that term is extended until the end of May, when the Program for the export sector of soybeans and its derivatives concludes.
Agriculture argued for the decision that “as is public knowledge, the country has suffered, since 2022, the greatest drought of its last years, affecting the yield of agricultural crops, which generates the consequent delays in the harvest.”
The so-called agricultural dollar establishes a temporary differential exchange rate of $300 per dollar for the soybean complex until May 31 and for regional economies, until October 31.
Through another resolution, 156/2023, also published today in the Official Gazette, Agriculture expanded the list of products from the regional economies affected by the measure and established equilibrium volumes for export.
Thus, it included grain sorghum, barley, and sunflower seed, oil, flour, expellers and pellets.
Regarding volumes, 950,000 tons were set for sorghum; for feed barley, 2 million; and for the sunflower complex, 145,000 tons, the seed; 1.1 million, oil; and 1.15 million flour.
The requirements for all the products of the regional economies that must be met by those interested in accessing the benefits of the program are to have exported the goods at some point in the 18 months immediately prior to the entry into force of Decree 194, as well as to assume the commitment to maintain or increase the number of jobs.
They must also commit to supplying the local market with these goods, having to maintain or increase the supply volumes that they register in the 18 months prior to the validity of the aforementioned decree.
Finally, they will have to comply with the Fair Prices program or the price agreements for the local market established by the Ministry of Commerce.
