The Minister of Productive Development of Argentina, Matías Kulfas, suggested that next week Argentina would once again allow beef exports, suspended since May 20, although he did not confirm it.
The details would be announced this Friday at an event at the Casa Rosada.
"Next
week we want to resume the path of beef exports,"
said Kulfas, who has advanced that in the next few hours the government will present a new scheme for Argentine exports.
"The idea is that
through the new scheme rules, we are ending to design
, power from next week back on track export, seeking to
ensure the meat on the table of the Argentines. Q
e want to all popular cuts are at affordable prices
", Kulfas stressed in statements to 'El Uncover'.
Likewise, he said that the objective is to overcome the barrier of three million tons of meat produced per year.
"If we could go to a level of five million, which is our great goal, in that case,
we could guarantee three million tons for the domestic market
that would allow consumption to recover and at the same time we could have two million tons to export. , which would be double what was exported last year ", emphasizes Kulfas.
According to what emerged from the meetings between Kulfas and the export sector, there will be restrictions on exporting in the remainder of June and July.
50% of the volumes
that are normally exported
can be shipped
in a month, which is approximately 65,000 tons.
The request of the exporters was that it be allowed to continue exporting the cuts of the quotas that currently exist and that were not included in the cap, such as the Hilton Quota, Quota 481 and the Quota to the United States, In addition, they asked to include the Kosher meat that is shipped to Israel.
Which he trusts that the Government will agree to the requests favorably.
It was also agreed that
7 cuts
that are mostly consumed in the domestic market
would
be prohibited
: rib roast, vacuum, matambre, shoulder, square, roast top and skirt.
Meanwhile, meat processing plants will continue to provide meat (the amount is still unknown) in conjunction with the United Supermarkets Association (ASU) to the Popular Prices program, which currently reaches 8,000 tons per month.
