Gabriela Cerutispokesman for the government of Argentina, revealed this Thursday that the presidency of Alberto Fernández is evaluating the creation of a National Food Company to “help small and medium-sized producers” so that vegetables arrive in a “more economical” way. ” to homes.
After the traditional conference given every Thursday at the Casa Rosada, the spokeswoman ruled out, however, that this implies a decision to create an institution to control market prices, according to the newspaper La Nación.
“The possibility of a food company has to do with helping small and medium producers in the production of fresh vegetables, of which there are already many and who know that we buy from the different cooperatives, from the UTEP, from the different producers that They come from the fifths. Make this a more massive issue so that these vegetables reach different households more cheaply and economically, ”he said.
In days when Argentina debates the suitability of the new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the southern nation registered an inflation of 3.9% in January, according to what was published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec).
“The Government is determined to see how it can help small and medium-sized producers, because just as in Misiones we implement that yerba mate producers can access land and better technology, it is necessary to do it with producers of vegetables, which are the prices that most affect inflation”, Cerruti remarked.
He also avoided recognizing the effects that the escalation of values in the gondolas could have on the electoral performance of the Front of All.
“Inflation is a damage for each Argentinean man and woman. The Government does not evaluate in political terms what represents a problem for the population. He evaluates solving it not because he is interested in political terms, but to improve people’s lives, ”he said.
On the other hand, he mentioned the intentions of the Executive to segment the subsidies in the rates as something that transcends the guidelines with the IMF. He also targeted those who live in “luxurious residences and neighborhoods”, but who complain because they will no longer receive their ballots with contributions from the State.
“Propose with the same conviction that electricity subsidies cannot be removed from those who do not need it because they live in a luxurious residence, in a luxurious neighborhood, because they have an income that allows them to pay certain subsidies, but they do have to lower the social plans that certain people do need is a contradiction,” slipped the spokeswoman.
