This was stated this Saturday by the presidents of Argentine Rural Society (SRA), Nicolás Pino, and Argentine Rural Confederations (CRA), Carlos Castagnani.
Vilella told the producers last week of his intention to increase withholdings up to 15% for all export complexes, including those in agriculture. “On Monday we are going to meet again, we have to coordinate it this weekend, to show that it is not a whim of the agricultural sector that says ‘no to withholdings’, but that There are situations, activities, productions that do not resist being touched by a number. of that because they are not going to be able to pay for it,” Pino explained in statements to Radio La Red.
According to Pino, Vilella’s message “It is not the one that the Liaison Table liked the most because there is an idea of, in the face of this crisis and this emergency, increasing export duties in some activities that did not have them or had them reduced”.
Castagnani, from CRA, stated in this regard in dialogue with FM Millennium: “Surely this week we will meet again to see what can be reversed, changed, to achieve trust, which is very necessary to walk together and try to get out of this situation.”
In this regard, Pino highlighted that agriculture “has been paying withholdings since 2001, 2002, for US$ 200,000 million.” In any case, he indicated that the Ministry of Economy assured them that “all these measures are temporary, that they have a start date and a closing date.”

For producers, applying withholdings is a “totally unfair” measure
For Castagnani the withholdings are “a totally unfair and arbitrary export duty because it punishes the producers very squarely and on this occasion to regional economies, which in some cases from zero withholding goes to 15%, putting certain activities on the edge of the economy.”

“Apart from withholdings, inputs have increased considerably, so profitability hits very hard and there are details that are not taken into account, such as glass, cork, very technical details that mean that the final numbers do not close” , he concluded.
