The Secretary of Agriculture, Juan José Bahillo, affirmed that he will not give up the cutting of beef and that in the country “the shouldering of half beef ends”, beyond the fact that this week the Resolution was repealed established the retail marketing of beef in pieces weighing less than 32 kilos.
“We are working at the technical table with the provincial governments, understanding that we must coordinate and generate common points and decisions, without losing sight of the fact that division is coming,” Bahillo said this morning in statements on Radio La Red.
At the same time, he said: “We will not give up cuts for a matter of quality of life and health of workers, who cannot continue to struggle with half a cattle.”
“We need to put it back into analysis and go on if there are mechanical means, what is the maximum limit that a worker can manipulate, the categories of mechanical means, but taking on the media res is over”. the official stressed.
This week, after a meeting with the provinces within the framework of the Meat Technical Table, Agriculture was defined will repeal resolution 22/2021, which was to come into force on January 15th.
In this sense, Bahillo explained: “What the provincial governments and the private sector are proposing is the chamber system, chamber capacity and seasonality”, which “changes the logistics and gives them time to adapt to these problems, but not question the underlying measure,” he said.
In the meantime, the official concluded, “the discussion is whether to continue marketing beef as it did 150 years ago or to market beef according to the hygienic-bromatological conditions and the health of the worker and the consumer’s demand.”

Bahillo instead referred to the ‘Impulso Tambero’ programme, announced this Friday by the Minister of the Economy, Sergio Massa, which will give Monetary assistance to the producers of a sector which “is in a critical period for three consecutive years of drought,” even though “the outlook is encouraging,” he said.
“With this measure, we intend to strengthen the resources of dairy farmers so that they have more tools to build a silo or plant corn for their reserves,” the official said.
He also stressed that from this program “the manufacturer is reached directly, effectively and quickly, unlike the removal of withholding taxes” and what is currently needed is “to affect the situation”, he concluded.
