Likewise, the Secretariat that leads Roberto Feletti works on an agreement with the industrial and commercial bookstore sector to launch, before the start of classes, a school basket with supplies at affordable prices.
The president of the Chamber of the Bookstore Industry (CIAL), Marco Selan, said this week that “we have started working three weeks ago with the Secretary of Domestic Trade on this proposal where there is a list of items that are going to be guaranteed in bookstores that are available at a more than competitive price level, so that the consumer can access them”.
The CIAL participates in the negotiations together with the Argentine Chamber of Stationery Stores, Bookstores (Capla) and Internal Trade, to define the basket that will have between 20 and 25 items that make up the basic backpack for initial and primary levels.
Before Télam’s query, from Internal Trade they indicated that the agreement is in progress and that the intention is to launch the school basket in the short term, in view of the fact that classes will begin next month in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) .

According to a report by the consulting firm Focus Market, The school supply kit made up of 21 products for the primary level has a price this year of $4,470, while in 2021 it cost $2,450, with an increase of 82%.
The consultant also indicated that the school combo made up of supplies, backpack and overalls has a price this year of $7,469, while in 2021 it cost $2,249, representing an increase of 76%.
Selan stated that “the rate of increase is around 30%”, and clarified that “there are products with a lower percentage and others that, due to their origin or the components with which they are made, may have had higher increases”.
He assured that “in what refers to tools what we work within the sector in all the links, between industry and retail, is to guarantee that there are products within reach of all pockets in Argentina”.
“There is a very broad proposal and product offering so that all consumers can put together a backpack to go to school,” he added.
On the other hand, Feletti is expected to hold a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, Julián Domínguez, to advance in the setting up of the wheat and corn trust, which aims to impact the costs of the bread and chicken chains and lower the consumer prices.
One of the objectives of the trust is to regulate the price of a 25-kilo bag of industrial flour, which is used to make bread, and thus reduce the incidence of this cost in the price of a kilo of bread sold to the public. in bakeries.
“If we manage to consolidate a basket of fresh products and a basket of gondola, a regulated basket of diverse foods, then I would be very happy with the management because we could meet the structural objective that is to level income with consumption of the food basket; to achieve that the basket food ceases to be a burden on popular income and is orderly, predictable, that is the great challenge of this process,” said Feletti.
