The Argentine Rural Society (Mrs.) supported “a prioritization of the countryside and its recognition as one of the sectors that drive the country’s economy”.
“We have been asking for the full elimination of export taxes for many years and we present various documents and proposals to current national and provincial authorities. This news will undoubtedly be a relief for the producers, but we will continue to work and seek the total and definitive elimination of this tax, “said the entity chaired by Nicolás Pino.
Carlos Castagnani, president of the Argentine Rural Confederations (CRA), said: “We value these measures that seek to alleviate producers’ burden and boost the competitiveness of the Argentine field. Reducing taxes on soy and eliminating them in regional economies is an important step towards a fairer and more efficient system. These decisions show that it is possible to advance policies that encourage production and development in our regions, an essential engine of the national economy. “
In the same line of pin, Castagnani raised the possibility of a definitive elimination of export tax for all products. “This opens a window to consolidate this dialogue, on the way to what the president promised, which is the total elimination of export taxes. We hope this can be achieved as soon as possible, “he said.
For Andrea Sarnari, president of the Argentine Agrarian Federation (FAA): “The most positive of all is that the national government has heard a sector that is crashing, to use words related to what is happening to the climate. The situation is complicated and we are not at a good time. ”
Lucas Magnano, president of the Agricultural Intercooperative Confederation (Coninagro), said the announcement “uncompromising” a situation that was extremely critical to producers. “It’s a big sign, a great support for agricultural production and the producers. This is the beginning of a path in which we will not only have to continue talking about the definitive elimination of export taxes, but also about the rest of the Argentine tax burden, “he said.
The agro -industrial sector also expressed support for the official decision. Gustavo Idigoras, mayor of the Argentine Republic Oil Industry (Ciara), said that the reduction in export taxes “is an extremely positive and important data”, but warned: “We have to see the conditions and how it will be executed and what are the commitments or conditions of that decree. Let’s wait to see the content of the decree to see how the market will react, but of course we always receive any reduction in export taxes. ”
In turn, José Martins, chairman of the Argentrial Agroindustrial Council (CAA), said that “the relief of tax pressure is an excellent measure, necessary for agribusiness to release all its productive capacity, generating currency entry, employment and development for all the Argentines ”. “We hope that the situation of fiscal balance will allow what is temporary today to become permanent,” he added.
Miguel Simioni, president of the Rosario Commerce Stock Exchange (BCR), said that “reducing the tax burden on the productive sector not only encourages economic activity, but also generates a major federal impact, as many of the benefited productions are fundamental for the development of regional economies and for the creation of jobs across the country. ”
