Milei opens the door to imports to lower inflation of 276.2% year-on-year. Food increased below the average in February, 11.9%, but in the last year it has become more expensive by almost 304% and has worsened the food emergency in Argentina.
Inflation is the main concern of Argentines and has become a chronic evil that successive governments have promised to eradicate without success. In December, Javier Milei's first month as president of Argentina, prices took the sharp jump of the last three decades.
