For the national government, meat does not increase due to official measures
The Secretary of Agriculture, Fernando Vilellahe pointed out on the FM Urbana Play what The recent increase in meat prices is due to a “sum of circumstances” that are not linked to the measures taken by the Governmentand highlighted that “a good part of the regional economies were taken into consideration” when deciding to continue with 0% withholdings.
“The problem we are seeing these days was that meat was the product that increased the least during the last two years. Furthermore, the drought was very impactful and a part of the rodeo was lost, which means that we are going to have a few months with less supply,” Vilella said this morning.

The official acknowledged that meat is “at a time of very high prices due to a number of circumstances,” but stressed that “none” of them are “linked to the measures that were recently taken.”
“The price that is today is a price that is difficult to sustain. I get the impression that the decrease in purchasing power is going to depress demand and that depression will affect prices,” he estimated.
Likewise, he maintained that the increase in withholdings on meat from 8% to 15% “is in favor of lower costs towards the domestic (market).”
