This Sunday, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Juan Jose Bahilloruled out that the possibility of implementing a new soybean dollar. The rumors were generated as a result of the fall in the reserves of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), since in the last days it got rid of US$ 470 million.
In radio statements, Bahillo stated that “I have not listened and It is not on the agenda items of which we officials of the Ministry of Economy meet weekly a new soybean dollar. There is nothing, but each one can make the interpretation that he wants “.
He further stated that “we have on the agenda to try to find some palliative measures for some regional economies such as pears, apples and wine. In the economic team we are analyzing that, we are not talking about a soybean dollar.”
This is how the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries tried to put an end to speculation about the application of this measure that was already used in September and December of last year.
