He also explained why private trade is not possible without the State. “It is impossible for a private person to sell a product from the agri-food chain if there was not first a health agreement between both countries. These agreements between states are needed to approve exports,” he pointed out.
In dialogue with Radio Continental, he affirmed: “Thinking of international trade with the total absence of the State is of a complete ignorance of how it works”.

Bahillo once morest Bullrich: “He doesn’t know what he’s saying”
The Secretary of Agriculture reiterated his position raised in past interviews that Patricia Bullrich “doesn’t know what she’s saying” regarding the removal of withholdings that the field currently has.

Bullrich’s stance on withholdings
Patricia Bullrich He explained what he would do with the withholdings on exports from the agricultural sector in the event of taking office as the first president: “Zero withholdings from day one. We believe in the substitution rate effect, the field can add 60,000 jobs per year and have exponential growth,” she pointed out.
“The substitution rate is clear. If we release export duties, the field will grow in jobs to 60,000 per year and 12% to 15% per year. This growth brings us closer to the substitution rate and the removal of export duties, generating a mechanism to delay the collection of certain taxes in order to save that time, ”he explained. Bullrich added that in the next few days he will report the details of the substitution rate.
“By the year 2030, without withholdings, Argentina can have a growth of 50% in their economies. If we delay and slowly remove the withholdings, we will eat that growth, which in 2030 would only be 6%,” the candidate estimated.
