The change of board of directors will take place at the next assembly, although it is already known that the first to be ejected will be the historical president of the entity, Daniel Funes from Riojaand the representative of the Argentine Federation of Salt Producers and Industrializers, Alfredo Gusmán, among others.
As far as he could know Argentine Newsthe presidency of Copal would be occupied by Carla Bonitowho currently serves as executive director and serves as second to Funes de Rioja.
By definition of Copal, the presidency cannot be in the hands of a company owner. Therefore, Bonito’s name as successor is the one with the most chances: “She knows the sector and is very hard-working”recognized a member of the entity.
Copal is a business organization that brings together and represents almost all of the sectors that make up the Argentine food and beverage industry. It has more than 34 associated sector chambers, which represent more than 2,200 companies throughout the country..
The Government opened food imports
Last week Economy lowered tax burden for the import of food and other products of the basic basket to compensate for the high prices on the shelves.
After the official announcement the Secretary of Commerce Pablo Lavigne received the executives of food manufacturing companies of the Copal chamberwho raised the need to equalize the tax treatment for the inputs necessary in production.
The Government warns that after the resolution some prices began to drop.
The Government’s decision includes a reduction of the payment period for imports of food, beverages and cleaning, care and personal hygiene products: they will go from a payment scheme in 4 installments at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days to a payment term in a single installment at 30 days.
In addition, it was determined to suspend, for a period of 120 days, the collection of additional VAT collection and income tax to imports of these products and medicines.
With this measure, the Government seeks to encourage the import of basic basket products whose price in the local market is higher than the international price, which will contribute to greater competition and, they hope, will generate a “fall in inflation.”
