Oh Pork and Apples, they will be able to have a roast dinner somewhere on the border. Does Argentine need stuffing :-)

It appears the “big ticket” items and automatic licensing have yet to be settled.

What none of the “funcionarios” have said is that this 2+ month hiatus in exports of fruit to Brasil has cost the “chacareros” of the Alto Valle of Río Negro and Neuquén more US$200 million.

Most of these people are smallholders, running familly businesses, so this means ruin for a lot of them.

I hope Pichetto et al will come up with some compensation, but I wont hold my breath!!!
