Ahead of this Friday’s meeting with the Liaison Table, Bahillo said that the “higher competitiveness of the dollar” is one of the main demands of the sector and stressed: “They are proposing that it is necessary to generate macro predictability and stability, because those movements of market in recent weeks generate speculative logic “.
“The first thing that needs to be wiped off the horizon is the issues that cloud the decision-making process and generate calm so that there are no shocks in these indicators. And that the producer makes the decision knowing he won’t regret it next week. for some sort of variation, “he said.
When asked about the alleged higher profits the sector would have, following the increase in the value of cereals internationally following the war in Ukraine, he replied: “By the time the big price improvement came, a huge percentage of producers had already sold the cereal and could not take advantage of the price advantage. The the manufacturer sold before that improvement and couldn’t capture it.
Finally, he indicated that they will try to improve the conditions for accessing the agricultural dollar: “They are thinking of improving the system, in particular the liquidation process, of producers’ access to that system. Make it more direct and avoid steps that made it unattractive to the manufacturer from an operational point of view“.
