On Sunday, resolution 75/2021 ends, which determined the temporary closure for 30 days of meat exports, and at this time there is consensus between the Government and exporters.
There are no valid shipping permits (those obtained prior to the official measure being known) so during
this week most of the refrigerators are not working at 100%
, they are only dispatching the
excepted quotas, such as the Hilton and the 481,
and they are defining how to proceed with respect to personnel. They also continue to negotiate with importers the renegotiation to
renegotiate the contracts already established
that will not be able to be fulfilled in a timely manner.
This Monday, Galit Ronen, the ambassador of Israel in Argentina, warned, who claimed on Monday that
"if we cannot know that they are going to sell us meat on a regular basis, we will look for other places."
Annoyed by what is happening with the stocks, he claimed that "it cannot be that every time Argentina feels like it, Israel runs out of meat," criticized the diplomat.
In this context,
negotiations accelerated
and at the end of Tuesday there is a consensus between the Government and the meat factories to unravel the conflict.
The agreement between both parties is that during the remainder of June and July, 50% of the volumes will be shipped, leaving out the Hilton quotas and 481 that go to the European Union, the Kosher meat to Israel and the North American quota.
Thus, it would give a total in
both months of 60% of the total.
In addition,
6 typical cuts
that are consumed in the local market would
be
restricted
: asado (strip or rib), vacuum, matambre, square, skirt and shoulder, as has already been mentioned.
From the sector of the exporting refrigerators they took for granted that the return of exports would not be as before.
"There will be no absolute freedom
,
" they
predicted.
The truth is that the price of the cow, the main category exported to China, has been falling in value. Of the 120 pesos that the live kilo was quoted in the Liniers market prior to the stocks, today between 70 to 80 pesos was paid. While the categories destined for the domestic market (Novillitos and heifers) also fell, but to a lesser extent, to 155 pesos.
It was also known about the launch of a
Livestock Plan
to increase meat production from the 3 million tons produced annually to 5 million tons in the coming years.
This measure was confirmed by Minister Matías Kulfas.
"This week we will disseminate the measures that contain a livestock plan where the supply of meat in the domestic market is contemplated and accompany the export sector," the official told C5N.
This program would consist of
increasing the minimum slaughter weight
, which currently stands at 300 kilos of live kilogram in males and 250 kilos in females, and
measures to increase the beef stock,
which is around 54 million heads, but did not detail details. of how it is going to be implemented.
