“It is the greatest marketing tool that small producers have, for some, This operation (direct sales to consumers) is the only income “They have until next year or the next season,” explained Juan Ruppel, treasurer of the Peasant Cooperative that these days will bring slaughtered animals for sale to the public.
The operation began last week in Villa La Angostura, sand specified in Centennial this afternoon and will continue on the 16th and 23rd in Neuquén, in the Roman arches. lThe “mamones” goats (5 to 67 kg) sell for 37,000 pesos and the lambs, from 8 to 12 kilos, sell for 41,000 pesos.and weights.
“While stock lasts” was the slogan. There are 120 animals that the cooperative’s breeders can bring in refrigerated transport. It is not the first sales season. “The decision was made by assembly and responded to the fact that The part that cost the producers the most was marketing: they do not have transportation to take the animals and the marketing chains are not going to look for 10 goats in a distant post,” he said.
He added that the members of the cooperative “go deep into the mountain range or to the herding in the summer and that guarantees that small producer families can have cash to invest in forage, or whatever is needed for the season. Especially now, with a difficult situation to face the coming months, which apparently will be hard,” Juan explained.
La traffic arrives with his registration, park in the spotWhere it was authorized by the municipal authority, the food science staff took out seals, tThe temperature of the merchandise is measured and the buying and selling begins, by piece. The first in line take a goat or lamb brought directly from the field, in the north, after work in the slaughterhouse.
There will be no price changes in Centenario, despite the rise of the dollar today. “That It was the agreement that there was with the crianceros, otherwise we are going to generate a difference with those who were already paid, those that were sold in Villa La Angostura,” they explained.
As in the mountain range, to Neuquén, a pre-sale began due to an agreement with MUTEN. “Surely we will fall short, but We cannot sell more than 120 pieces per trip, that is what we can transport”Rupel said.
Then other operations will come, because not all members of the cooperative had animals for the Christmas sale. “Some prefer to market when they return from summer, With another weight, they come with 10 to 12 kilos for the goat and 16 to 18 for the lamb. The one now, however, is the typical kid from the northwith greater flavor and tenderness, with a higher percentage of fat than, inserted in the grill, When you eat it, it has that almost unique crunchiness of the Neuquén goat.”he advised.
With the operation, the cooperative, which is made up of stallholders and members of the MTE, seeks to achieve a fair price for the Christmas table and the value of the animal “is set by the breeder, in this case more than 60%» of the price that was agreed upon for sale to the public. The rest corresponds to the logistics of transportation, slaughterhouse and permits to the point of sale in the authorized place.
