Tucumán: they relaxed the protest for the production of sugar
Less than a week ago, and in the midst of cuts across the country, the Tucumán Freight Carrier Association (ATCT) made the protest more flexible so that the mills can resume sugar harvesting. It was after a meeting with the governor of Tucumano, Osvaldo Jaldo.
It is that the measure of force that began on Tuesday last week has caused the interruption of the sugar harvest in Tucumán and in other productive sectors of the province.
Through a statement, the Sugar Center had stated that “despite the measures taken by the industry to address the harvest with the necessary provisions in terms of energy supply and inputs, Tucumán had to stop the harvest due to the carrier strike affecting the province. .
“As a government we were predisposed and we wanted this not to happen, which is why, together with the representatives of industrialists, sugar cane growers and lemon growers, we had a meeting with the head of ATCT, Eduardo Reinoso,” said Jaldo in a press conference.
