The president of the San Juan Mining Chamber, Ricardo Martínez, confirmed that he made a claim to the Ministry of Economy to analyze the scheme of withholdings to industrial minerals. “We already have the novelty that this claim was filed to the Ministry of Production of the Nation. We have had a good reception and have promised us to work on the issue, we also thank the San Juan Ministry of Production that has been interested and made the necessary efforts and will continue to do them “he explained in a recent interview in radio media.
“We ask that export withholdings be eliminated for these products. This was obviously within the mass of regional economies, but they were not specifically appointed or cited. It is an important issue because this increases the potential of the cales, of the Bentonites and of our Rocks of Application in general. We still do not have a certain date for an answer, but we know that we are working on the subject. Nor is it very significant from the tax point of view, but it is for companies and for the commercial movement that is generated. “
Non -metal mining retention implies 4.5% withholdings that affect industrial products such as cal, diatomite, bentonite and boratos.
Regional economies
Although the Government reduced to zero the withholdings for certain products of the regional economies, others were out of the measure. José Martíns, president of the Agroindustrial Council, was the first to request that the Reduction of retentions also extends to products derived from cattle, aviars, animal nutrition and fishing. The withholdings for this last sector are 6 to 7%.
Meats
Finally, meat exporters requested the total elimination of withholdings, currently set at 6.75%, with the exception of the category of cows, which is already exempt. The order seeks to extend the elimination to all cattle.
The decline in retentions to the field impacted fully on the entry of dollars
After the temporal decline of the withholdings to the main grains, exports were recorded for more than US $ 900 million and the producers sold more than 5 million tons.
From January 27 to Monday, February 10, the producer’s accumulated soy sales was 2 million tons. And in the case of corn, producers marketed 1.9 million tons in that same period. In wheat, the accumulated exceeded 850 thousand tons and in barley, 305 thousand tons. Then, Sunflower reached 211 thousand tons, and El Sorgo, 48 thousand tons. This impulse for the producer to sell his production had to do with an improvement in the value.
