“Was chaotic this holiday, nothing planned: Since Monday afternoon we have been dealing with confusing information and finally we have calculated losses in our sector of 1.6 billion dollars,” he said. Eduardo Borripresident of the Argentine Chamber of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers (CAFMA).

He considered him the director of agro-industry “thrown away” that money, “for what is not worked or for the extra expenses of the holiday”in a production chain that generates 40,000 jobs.

He explained that “some companies did not want to validate the day’s payment as a holiday. Others, who had jobs scheduled, opened their doors… but many people have lost. In short, the extra cost that the companies that have worked will have is very important”.

the situation has arisen at a time when this business is experiencing a 70 to 80% drop in salesamong other things due to the effects of drought.

According to Borri, in this context, “decree a holiday it implies a tremendous level of insensitivity. That doesn’t mean we’re not happy with the Argentine team’s triumph. If the celebrations were in Buenos Aires, it is crazy that a working day has been established for all of Argentina”.
