The reaction of the agrarian entities to the economic announcements did not surprise the Government, where they warn that

pronounced by referents of the sector are due to the "speculation" of the Liaison Table and they trust that the measures,

, will have a positive reception in the sector.

"

", they hurried to differentiate close to President

, given the harsh reaction of the main agrarian entities to the package of economic measures presented by the ministers Martín Guzmán (Economy), Luis Basterra (Agriculture) and Matías Kulfas (Productive Development), among whom a temporary reduction was ordered, until the end of the year, in export rights for soybeans and their derivatives.

The reference to the SRA has to do with the fact that it was Daniel Pelegrina, its head, who harshly attacked the Government's proposal: "

. Here what there is not is trust, there is a quantity enormous of dollars in the hands of the Argentineans, but what there is not confidence to liquidate them, "he said.

Although the government admits that "it was not expected that (the agrarian entities) would applaud," the tone of the response from the countryside did generate discomfort.

"We are in a very delicate moment.

" they questioned from the nucleus closest to the president.

In Balcarce 50 they highlight that phrase by Pelegrina to justify

.

"They complain because they understand that we give more benefits to agribusiness than to them," they maintain.

In this concept they include the sayings of Carlos Iannizzotto, from Coninagro, who said that "the announced measures do not have the direction that the producer expects" and that "the benefit could not be captured."

The diagnosis, on this occasion, is homogeneous, in all areas of the Government.

Both in Casa Rosada and in the environments of the ministers involved in the announcement, they warn that "

."

The strategy, given this conclusion, will be to highlight the agreement with other sectors "that are more dialogist."

"It serves to expose who speculates and who does not," they noted.

"Those of Agroindustry came out well, the chambers that make up the Council came out well and that of the Liaison Table was expected:

", was the analysis. 

To illustrate it, they recalled that the Liaison Board did not even remain silent in the face of Mauricio Macri's management:

The perception of the Executive is that

since "it takes away the representativeness of the Liaison Table."

"With this, the unity of the countryside is further broken," said one of the ministers who participated in the announcement. 

"

. Those who sell soybeans (primary producers) always complain about the agribusiness (oil and flour), because they do not want to have a difference in export rights. Up to here, the whole complex soybean had 33 percent withholdings. Now the beans were lowered to 30 and oils to 28. That is why

. At this stage of the year, they (for the agrarian entities) are sowing, not selling. Those who sell now are those of the agro-industry, and they are happy, "they stated this morning at the Casa Rosada.

Finally, despite the reaction from the field, the official bet on which, by order of the President, the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, will insist, is to "keep the dialogue open."

"We have been working for months with the Agroindustrial Council, where there are 3 of the 4 entities of the Liaison Table but which is much broader because it incorporates more dynamic sectors of agricultural activity. And

with them," they completed.
