Of the package of measures that will be announced this week to try to contain meat prices, the government has left out the export of refrigerators. That key sector with few players was targeted for presumed irregularities in the export of meat.
“He will have differentiated treatment with exported refrigerators, where under-invoicing was found with consequent lawsuit in court for millionaire evasion”, they pointed out in Agriculture, while from the Customs they confirmed that the presentation “has been made and everything is under secret summary”.
Massa aimed against the meat exporters, without mentioning them. It was in the midst of announcing the renewal of the Fair Price and when it was said that there are 10,000 tons stored in cold rooms (2.5% of total exports), after 3,424 million were sold abroad last year dollars, 21% more than a year earlier.
“We have the challenge of rKeep bellies, increase slaughter, fatten the cattle, but above all increase the supply and, in this sense, also stripping those who do it cheat the statebecause even there over- or under-invoicing appears to be a distorting instrument of the internal market, and just as we give incentives, we must unmask those who cheat”, said the minister.
