The president of the Argentine Supermarket Federation, Víctor Palpacelli, confirmed that they are analyzing creating a food basket with discounts for regional chains.
The initiative was raised last Thursday during a meeting at the Ministry of Commerce with Fernando Blanco Muiño.

Palpacelli noted that the basket would include “a list of generic items, with a special discount” and the idea is “keep it between 30 and 60 days”.
“It would not be a price intervention, but rather setting generic prices composed of products from the basic basket, elementary and that can have a differentiated price for a limited time,” he added in statements to Chain 3.

“With this inflationary process it is not easy, but we are working on the idea to be able to give it shape”Palpacelli explained.
“It would be a kind of contribution from all the regional supermarket chains in each province, with a non-mandatory sum, but we are waiting for the negotiation with the supplier,” he added.
He also maintained that “this limited list of products” would not have “a specific brand” and he exemplified with the price of common sugar, which would cost “of 15 to 20 percent less than the gondola price” .
“That list should be displayed on the premises and supported by an effort made by the merchant. ”, considered Palpacelli.
“The objective is to accompany at this moment. That is the intention and spirit of the idea,” concluded the head of the Argentine Supermarket Federation.
