    The paralysis started in KFCs facial muscles and is caused by too much Botox. She is suffering from Cher syndrome. By the time she has finished her shopping trip, courtesy of the clot (Timerman?) and got a new wig, RGland will be back on course (downward trajectory). Best thing for Uraguay is to open up it ports and airfields to British charter flights and cruise ships which will be filled with British and American tourists gagging to visit the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the Antarctic peninsular loaded with £s and $ which are actually worth something.
    RGland is going down the pan, no need for Uraguay to follow it.

    Having lived in Canada for a number of years & being totally dependent on every economic decision made by the US, I can understand Uruguay's problem with Argentina

    There is a great animosity between the two nations but poor old Uruguay has to always be politically correct since any dissention by Mujica will inevitably hurt them where it hurts the most.....in their pocket books!!!

    4 Falkland Islands

    A lot of Uruguayo have balls and want rid of Pepe and his drunken mates ASAP.

    Dismiss Stevie, he not only does NOT live here, he is out of touch with people. He is living in the Tupas past and cannot move forward.

    It was good to see an Argentine telling it how it is but such a shame the egocentric TMBOA is still a force it seems.

    I must admit I thought the “illness” was a cover-up for her to go shopping while out of the elections (let's hide the ogre) and she would come back pretty quick thereafter.

    Perhaps there is a coup building?

    It is hard to feel sorry for the number one accomplice in the utterly despicable way that South America has treated the Falklanders. It sounds as sure as ever though, that when Argentina sinks they will take Uruguay down with them. Pepe has left it a little late to start swimming away from the sinking ship.
    If you lie with dogs, you get up with fleas. Love that saying and very apt for Uruguay!

    Just looked on Betfair...
    You can get very decent odds on Uruguay , but an army of only 15,000 ( many in Haiti ) with reconditioned T55's and M24 Chaffee tanks and no air force to speak of does not inspire much confidence .
    If this does go hot , I'm afraid Argentina wins easily , assuming they can round up all their troops from the gardening jobs , car washes , private security and other things they all do to make ends meet these days .

    It is not the job of the grower to check the produce entering a country, it is up to the authorities of the importing nation for a sanitary inspection. The British blew it, and then you wonder why every year I hear of contaminated alfalfa sprouts, salmonella, and all kinds of other stuff affecting European and North American consumers.

    You are right, the buyer, or importing country has to do this.

    You agree the importing country must do the inspections.

    When the importing country is responsible for importing safe agricultural products, that is not “protectionism”, right?

    The grower is not responsible for safe agricultural products, the importer is.

    As for this story. It is spot on. Argentina, being a bully, only wants weak neighbours so they can feel good about themselves flexing their muscles.

    Uruguay should tell them the feck right off. It should reopen relations with the Falkland Islands, and invite the Royal Navy in for a visit. Include closer links with the UK, and perhaps invite the UK to participate in joint exercises, and exchanges, which will benefit Uruguay's military.

    In the meantime, Argentina will get angrier and angrier and complain. But that is all they can do.

    The British have known this for years. They're all mouth and no trousers. It's about time Uruguay realised just how impotent Argentina actually is.

    @CabezaDura

    Pelotudismo Para Bobos (PPP) is the cheap copy of “Glenn Beck Show” USA Fox

    LaNata yes is contradicting himself but is smart enough to make believe people without brain that he doesn’t.

    The same applies for Diego Gvirtz (6,7,8) the funny thing is that both were in the opposite side years ago.

    Diego Gvirtz was bashing the K first from America Channel 2 and later from Clarin Group Channel 13 using the some of the same programs that he has now to bash Clarin Miente. He knows very well the tactics.

    LaNata in the 90 and 2000s was doing the same but using “los Zurditos” ha ha who were they main clients at that moment and now all are shocked.

    But now he is facing strong competition in the Zurdito market and no money can be made so he without hesitation turned to the group that he was bashing since La Nata broke relation with “Clarin Miente” as employer.

    PPP (LaNata) targets the superficial viewers that very easy can be manipulated like in talks shows by using “media impact” While 6,7,8 targets more intellectual viewer with argumentation that “zurditos”, students, etc loves.

    The zurditos are better prepared intellectually than the superficial give 2 from Miami and Menen Era.

    So they read a lot have strong arguments even if the are wrong but they are not stupid may be confused some times that all.

    Do you think if someone put 1 million dollar in publicity every month to Mercopress to bash the Islanders they will say no?

    Well I guess for a Million dollar even Camoron will be bashing the Islanders.

    Ha ha

    Show must go on and better weapon is FPB “Football Para Bobos” from my point of view I will put some program of “bailanta and Big boobies Para Todos” in Channel 7 and also “Chismes Para Bobos” with that I will win any election.

    Lanata does INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM, Glenn Beck is a Tea Party idiot and his listeners even more so, but at least he is not paid by any government and works on private channels unlike Gvirts who is NOT A JOURNALIST he is a PRODUCER of “PROGRAMAS DE ARCHIVO”, but he is first and foremost is a son a of whore and a boat of full of African refugees on route to Lampedusa…
    They specialize in media bulling, excessive abuse of the editing and resentful panelists who are nothing else than vigilantes of the Argentine Tv. All paid by the State and their associates in Canal 9 as its going to be proved if the government accepts the court ruling and exposes Gvirtz contracts. None of them has the moral authority to question Lanata.
    The man stood against the corruption of Carlos Menem’s government and it now stands against the corruption of the Kirchners. A lot of people listened to him in the 1990s and listen to him now, what is the problem of that?? Be left or right, people always want to hear the truth.
    THE ONLY REASON HE ENDED UP IN CHANNEL 13 IS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES REMAINING THAT ARE INDEPENDENT AND BIG ENOUGH THAT CAN DARE AIR IS PROGRAM. CANAL 26, GOT SHIT SCARED IN 2011 to continue airing DDT. What really infuriates you is that in 13 he has incredible rating and beats Futbol para Todos and his radio program in Mitre together with Longobardi they reach 50% of all audience every day...

He has made a lot of people go to jail and he uncovered a lot of stuff during his whole career. What the hell is Glenn Beck ?? An imbecile. He doesnt really produce anything. You are comparing apples and peaches (and I'm saying this because I have nothing against Mr Beck but his completely out of league) Lanata has stirred up some really powerful people during his life time. Glen Beck is not chased nor censured by the government of his country; in fact nobody takes him much notice lately....

    @CabezaDura

    I will never recognise that because it’s a lie based on fairy tales for ignorant.

    Example a meat factory it not the same as having cows in a farm grazing pastures.

    The fist is industry and the second is a farm(campo, sertor agropecuario, etc.).
    Can a farm export Hilton cuts to Europe for example?
    Nope without industrialisation (a meat factory).

    Can a country that has not cows export meat?
    Yes of course because the meat factory for example can import the cows from (ganado en pie) or medias res.
    So from Mataderos for example CABA (capital federal) with a little meat factory I can export Hilton cuts to Europe by importing the cows from Uruguay.

    And this is not a tale it is a fact because I knew several meat factories exporting to Russia, EU, etc. without having a single cow brewed by them.

    I will tell you another real story about Nestle so you can understand what I’m talking about...
    Nestle in the ’90 used to be one of the bigger manufactures of Coffee in the world and is actually one of the big food supplier in the world.

    Have you ever see coffee plants in Switzerland?

    I didn’t and I was several times in Szland. So how can they be the bigger traders of coffee without coffee plants?
    Easy they imported the coffee beans from Colombia and that is the reason why they were able to fix prices in the market. Here the rest of the story...

    In the ’90 the Colombian wanted to rise the price of Coffee beans, as the Nestle management are not stupid they always have a stock of CB to keep producing for a year.
    Lets say that the kg was 1 dollar the Colombian wanted 1.2 dollars.

    Nestle stop to buy for 3 months and the Colombians were begging to resume trade again.
    Nestle said ok but now we will pay 0.80 dollar by kg.

    What the lesson to be learnt here?
    Doesn’t matter what govt. or policy is implemented the farming sector always will be in the bottom of the economic scale. Like the plankton in a tank full of whales even though they claim to be more important.

    www.ambito.com/economia/informes_economicos/archivos/Ranking_expo_x_sectore.pdf

    Hahaha poor verga he thinks he can spin round this but rebranding the components of Argentine exports…. What a pack of rubbish

    A butcher house is not an industry export as such, it simply cuts up a cow and packs it, it’s part of the Cadena Agroalimentaria which originates in the farms and depends of them. Farmers can alternatively shift from producing beef to grain or milk so there for slaughter houses are ultimately in a dependency relationship. And all of the chains are accounted for in the country's books as “Manufacturas de Origen Agropecuario” (MOA) in contrast to “Manufacturas de Origen Industrial” (MOI) which are really industrial ones. This Economy’s ABC you even learn in middle school.

    Why a slaughter houses is not an industrial export?? Because they cannot produce beef on their own, you cannot assemble barley, water, wheat, corn, rolls, soybeans and feed and produce meat, milk, eggs, etc by itself in a factory.

    You cannot RE-Brand what things are in the way it fits your argument, because it doesn’t work like that. All this is to make the Kirchnerite economy as a “industrial” one, and it is not and even the government admits it. The Farming sector is the only competitive sector there is in the country you wouldn’t survive a day without us, because you are NOT EFFICENT, you don’t work as hard as Japanese, Americans or Germans nor you know as much as they do, there is no working, ethical and entrepreneur culture in Argentine cities and factories that can rival anything in the world. You are responsible (your daddy) of mass distortions in PRICES of the in betweens the consumer and the farmers. ERGO YOU ARE INEFFICENT ON WORLD STAGE, and the government KNOWS IT and doesn’t want to let you go alone for the same reason… YOU WOULDEN'T LAST A DAY OUT THERE WITHOUT our competitive farms and revenues

    @ CabezaDura

    I said “Mataderos” that in English is translated as “slaughterhouses” but “Mataderos” in CABA is not a “slaughterhouse” it is a place called like that because in the past were full of meat factories and slaughterhouses.

    In fact an avenue is called “Lisandro de la Torre” because there was a meat factory called “Lisandro de la Torre” (legislator who opposed to British interest in ARG) which was the fist national meat factory to compete with the British slaughterhouses exporters.

    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigor%C3%ADfico_Lisandro_de_la_Torre
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigor%C3%ADfico_Lisandro_de_la_Torre

    So here is the answer about your doubt if a SlaughterHouse can be an Exporter.
    The Answer is YES because this was doing by Argentina until the ’90 exporting “media res” (half or the animal frozen” so you can export cuts, canned products or just the “media res”.

    You have SHs for internal consumption and for export.

    All these are industrials process and is called “Industria frigorifica”, “Industria carnica”, etc. and has noting to do with farmers or farming.
    UNICA (Union of the meat Industry Argentina),
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigor%C3%ADfico_Lisandro_de_la_Torre see below the page they refer to themselves as Industry not farming sector.
    Cafra (Chamber of the meat factories of Argentina)
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigor%C3%ADfico_Lisandro_de_la_Torre

    See for the part in the web site about objectives for this part “To promote the development of the meat industry Argentina.... and the adoption of more efficient methods of !!!INDUSTRIALISATION!!!

    “Manufacturas de Origen Agropecuario”
    and?
    The origin of the “row material” used in industrial production does not means that is not an industry.
    “Manufacturas” manufactured products are as result of industrialisation not farming.

    So “slaughterhouses” are just the first step of the meat industrial process chain sometimes called C1, C2, etc. (production cycles)

    Nothing to discus about it is just the way its even if you or your favourites economists don’t agree with that.

    Yeah............Of course, you have found out a way to elaborate beef and animal fat by mixing water barely, corn, wheat, vitamins, minerals in a machine.

    You could have at least used another example as Biodiesel, soy pellets or dairy products like cheese, yogurts, butter, etc, which wouldn’t be the case either but beef is not even modified nor elaborated unless you are considering chasinados and embutidos but its just nonsense anyway .

    Nope,
    I used this example because is exactly where you are confused.
    I also was from the beginning trying to explain to you that to say that Argentina economy is all based on “Agro” this is a lie because most of the GDP is produced for Industries and services and not Agro.

    Also that with “farmers” alone as you said Argentina would have a economy similar to Uruguay if lucky that is more than 10 times smaller than Argentina but Uruguay has more than 13 times less population only 3m habitants while ARG has 40m.

    So you will see in ARG poverty everywhere with your Agro-Argentina Exporter dream..

    I know you are gonna tell me that you can produce more and everyone will be happy, etc.

    “Bollocks” because to have same ARG GDP of U$s500bn you will have to produce and export...

    1.5 BILLIONs tons of soy for example. The total market is of 280M tons for soy.

    That will produce the price to collapse of whatever grain you sale because there is not demand for that because total grain market world wide is of 1.9bn tons.
    So you grains will value cents at tons if you want to sale them.

    Last “beef” or whatever sub products of the cow are industrialised products.

    Your problem is that you as many people listen to economists like Szewach, Melconian, etc that for them a tractor is a product from a farm.
    And if you say to him that this is wrong he turn to “the govt changes the items to bash the farm sector“ relato.

    DON'T CRY PROTASI, READ THESE FIGURES AND STOP MAKING LOBBY.
    Firstly, i want to say that it's really evident and pathetic the doble standard that some of c. f. k.'s haters, who often publish their opinions here made, in relation to the expressions of this guy (protasi).
    If c. f. k. said that a determined nation hates argentina and wants to ruin the country, i have no doubt that many of those people would say that she's just a paranoid crazy, who sees conspirations against arg. everywhere, however protasi's words were celebrated by some of them.
    It's really difficult to have a serious discussion, when the arguments of some detractors are just insults, and invalid most what kirchnerism has made in the last 10 years. Anybody can agree or not on c. f. k's ideas, beside, it's necesary to talk about the falencies of her government, but it doesn't mean that some detractors have to invalid most what she has done since she's in office, in fact, some people here are so misserable that they don't even recognize her leadership.
    As far as i'm concerned, although i have never agreeded on conservative ideas, due to in my opinion i think that most them are too reactionary, i don't invalid margaret thatcher's leadership, because i'm not neather misserable nor mediocre. It's evident that if she was reelected twice in the u. k., and ruled the nation more than any other prime minister, is because she must have done something right for britain.
    On the other hand, protasi should relax, despite the structural problems of our economy, it's having a good expansion, in fact, according to the figures from CIFRA/CTA, from july to september, we had an expansion of 8,3%, beside inflation is stable and rases are growing over inflation level, due to c. f.'s govt. hasn't implemented any austerity plan, like in europe.
    On the other hand, nobody hates uruguay, all countries have problems with their neightbours, but they can be solved in negotiations. So protasi, don't cry and get respect.

    can you see that you are bad informed?

    “the litre of milk and in the supermarkets the price is $10 ???”

    First your question is quite silly as if I ask to you... Why farmer charge for milk if the cow is not paid and give it for free?

    Second, what you say about the price is not true Milk have a range price from $2.89 to whatever you are able to pay for it $6.19, $6.89, $7.35, etc. even $13 x litre if you want with extra calcium, premium milk, etc.

    From Disco virtual

    http://www.assica.it/it/pubblicazioni/industria-delle-carni.php

    The answer to your question is quite simple “Milk” at farm gates is just a commodity.
    The raw material that use Milk Factories Complex (Usina lacteas) to produce commercial Milk that people consume today in cities and are sold in SuperMarkets.

    So a Milk Farmer has to sell the “raw Milk” at that price because is not industrialised and depends of MF factories to process the milk.

    Otherwise the farmer will have to invest in a Milk Factory, have logistic to take the milk close to consumers and have his own distribution change to avoid the Supermakets.
    Lests say at least U4s100M of investment to start with?
    Then millions in marketing, research for new products, etc

    In UK farm gate price of Raw Milk is 0.32 pounds while in supers cost 3 or 4 times more from 0.90 x litre to over a pound.
    Do you thinks that Cristina or La Campora have been taxing the farmers there too?

    That probes that for everyone in the world “Meat” and derivatives are industries even though the cow is brewed in a farm. Because requires of industrial complex to be process the cow and to be able to create commercial products.

    Of course with the exception of Meconian, Enrique Szewach, Miguel A. Broda, JL Espert, Jorge Avila, and all economist clowns that populates the media with the “el campo relato”.

    “2)Milk per litre is on average $ 10”
    Nope I showed the prices in supermarkets that are more expensive in other places and you are refuted reality.
    If you pay more for milk is because someone is stealing you that’s all.

    “Fine. Buy everything in Uruguay or New Zealand, pasteurize or cut their stuff and export it”
    No problem if the govt. open its border and switch to a Menen type policy “Dollar para todos” Milk can come from China like in US.
    After all is what you asking for. Isn’t it?

    “You are clearly a douchbag city boy who has never stepped or done any farm work in his life, that believes a cow produces milk cost free…”

    Nope that clearly probes that you are an ignorant about how works the food industry chain and that you cannot understand my irony to compare your stupid question with yours about why the price of milk is more in a Supermarket than in a farm gate.

    Nothing is free so and industries and commercial chain have costs as a farmer has to brew a cow, etc. only and ignorant can think otherwise.

    The raw milk then requires to be transported (cost) processed and packaged in industries (cost), marketing (cost), credit to wait 90 days that takes supermarkets to paid for it to the industries (cost).

    Supermarkets chains needs logistic (cost), Building infrastructure to maintain and sell the products, average U$s 25m for each new branch (cost), marketing (cost), etc.

    And LIAR, Prices of milk in the UK are not 3 or 4 times higher, it cost about 1 pound a 2,27 Lt container bottle so if the farmers are payed 35 pence per Lt that means there whole chain is very EFFICENT (something that you DAD IS NOT) and the farmers are not screwed over like here

    The Argentine farming sector and its related sector is already responsible of generating around 55% of national revenues and 36% of the work force is related totally or partially with the sector.

    Now how come a Argentine farms have proven it can be at the same level the most tech and intensive counterparts in Netherlands, US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia and yet no other sector in the Argentine economy can say that??

    Sure I’m Chinese new-rich tycoon; I’m just here to practice my Polo skills
    So you were born in Germany, you announce you have being all over Europe and on holidays, you are filthy rich, etc all this while you rent flats and properties in BsAs you are a KK troll, anti Campo to the bone. Odd to say the least.

    Now listen, I don’t know where you are born, or what you do either, neither do I care but I just think you are a load of shit, Verga.
    Besides even if you are as rich as you say you are it doesn’t make you right.
    Getting angry are we, LIAR??

    And you forget to address La Nacion article in which the Argentine consumer prices are equivalent to those of London, New York, Sao Pablo and over Madrid’s which is over a year old I think its even worse now days…
    I will remind you so you dont deflect from that one

    http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1519444-efecto-inflacion-buenos-aires-cara-como-nueva-york

    You’ve been completely proven wrong, but if you want to compare full brand vs Supermarket brand fair enough compare Creamfields (28% increase over Gate price) vs Super VEA (75% over gate price) and compare Cravendel (x2 times) vs La Serenisima (x4 times) which avoids Moreno’s frozen prices by making a lot of variety and the cheapest ones are never on store
    LOL and do you even know how much organic milk costs in Argentina??
    http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1519444-efecto-inflacion-buenos-aires-cara-como-nueva-york

    As I said, we sustain your INEFFICIENCY; you are sitting on the cheapest commodities on the world but you deliver the most expensive derivates and a general poor quality too. This is the best example... How much the farmers get paid and how much the consumers are charged (AUG ’13)

    @CabezaDura

    First you are insisting that the engine of the economy in Argentina is farming.

    Well I proved that you were wrong because you cannot distinguish in between a Farm and an Industy.

    You were wrong!!!!!!!!!

    Then you were insisting that the govt blabla and that a meat factory is not an industry otherwise is a farming activity.

    I showed you that in Argentina, UK and Italy are industries like in all western world

    You were wrong again!!!!

    Then you come to the Milk stuff about your doubt over why Milk cost more in a Supermarket than in farmer gates.

    Well even a child should have deduced that because commercial milk products require industrialisation so it is a industrial sector and not a farming sector as you keep saying

    YOU wrong again !!!!

    Now you come with distribution food chains and the wrong CRA statistics about the cost of distribution in food chain, margins, etc.

    And of course with a shitty comparison of “La Natacion para Bobos” that Buenos Aires is more expensive than New York city.

    So my question for you is... Do you have a brain?

    In the same article “La Natacion para Bobos” says that to compare “New York” city prices they used supermarkets from “New Jersey”.

    Can you distinguish the difference between the expensive “New York” with “New Jersey”?

    Anyway read this

    “you would need at least ARS $70,138 ($7,393) in New York City to maintain the same standard of living that you can have with ARS $18,750 in Buenos Aires.”

    More expensive in New York than Buenos Aires

    Food 192%
    Housing 487%
    Clothes 14%
    Transportation 306%
    Personal care 232%
    Entertainment 176%

    Total: New York 274% more expensive than Buenos Aires.

    You get what you pay for:
    people in PaP might like to live in BA;
    people in BA would definitely like the prospect of NY ... salaries ... shops ... entertainment ... jobs ...
    unlike BA, keeping people out is the US problem.
    That's why the US has Green Cards for South American etc maids, cleaners, etc.

    The site that you use is considering the BLUE DOLLAR!!! We are talking about food here, not housing, transportation, clothing, entertainment and personal care
    Now you won’t accept; CLARIN, LA NACION, AMBITO, THE OWN MINESTERY OF ECONOMY, THE ECONOMIST, SRA and CRA…. All their numbers are WRONG…Only Dany Verga is right…Of course

    I don’t care what they call the derivates of the agricultural produce. In Argentina the exports of them are called MOA, I already explained this and you can’t change the facts. I think that they both farming sector and the derivates should complement themselves not one parasite on the other. And this is the problem here…
    The initial discussion here was about what the exports are really made of, not a matter of what Dany Berger wants to call things according to the Italians or the British…

    It’s the chain that is inefficient the moment the it leaves the farmers gates onwards and it ends up in the supermarket, yet alone compete from the port outwards in the real world. And this is so clear and obvious…
    If you want to call it “industry” fine but there is no real achievement in cutting up a cow and packing it, there is no know how no creativity, no nothing. And yet you are inefficient about it.

    If there was anything industrial of BsAs why don’t you produce software, heavy machinery, high tech gadgets, ships, planes, trains, etc, The only thing that shithole city industrializes with commodities from abroad is Paco for local consumption and Cocaine that it exports abroad. So after all somebody invests in Argentina ………….Peruvian, Mexican and Colombian cartels

    @CabezaDura

    Nope “La Nacion” is saying that Buenos Aires is more expensive than New York and also use “lavandina, Jabón and Champu” (bleach, soap and shampoo) to make their point.

    Since when these products have become food for you?

    “MOA” means “Manufacatura de Origen Agropecuario” in Spanish. In English would be “Manufactured from Agriculture Origin”

    Manufactures are industrialised products in Argentina, Russia, China, US, UK or whatever country you like to check.

    Manufactura definition in Spanish:
    “manufactura

    1. f. Producto industrial:
    los distribuidores se encargan de hacer llegar las manufacturas al público.
    2. Establecimiento o fábrica donde se llevan a cabo procesos industriales:
    manufactura de electrodomésticos.
    http://www.wordreference.com/definicion/manufactura

    can you see? Manufacture are industrial products and not farming products.

    Here a simple example to explain your mistake.
    MOA means that these Industries produce new products using farming stuff as raw materials.

    That’s all, and no contradiction or anything that suggest that are not industrialised products.

    So from cow they can produce beef, leather, canned beef, ingredients for soups, soaps, etc.

    MOI or MI means that these industries use already industrialised products to create new industrialised products.
    So previous industrialisation stages are required to produce these products and all these products are more valuable in economic terms because more “add value” is produced in the production chain.

    One example is the “plastic industry” that requires previous industrialised pellets to produce new products in plastics.

    You are wrong again because to build meat factories “to just cut beef as you say” requires more than 10.000 items to build them, Building, Machinery, Engineering, Intensive Labour Force, research, plastic, etc.

    And requires 2000 blue collar workers to process 1000 cows and 200 white collar in management.

    Can you see the difference?

    And so what about sugar, coffee, coke, hamburgers, eggs, chicken, milk, yogurt, fried potatoes??? (LNOL) All CHEAPER IN MADRID, AND SOME OF THEM IN LONDON
    What about the currency disregard, even using the official US dollar like La Nacion does, you are comparing AR$ agains EUROS AND POUNDS and you are processing more expensive stuff than they are, and yet you are getting far cheaper raw materials than the Spanish or British industries in real terms much smaller countries and one of them is mostly a desert….DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IN BASIC ECONOMICS THIS MEANS YOU ARE INEFFICIENT....

    So yeah I can see the difference when you are to inefficient about it compared to other places in the world.

    You are really amazing and you are honouring your nickname in every post you make.

    “slaughterhouses are filth”

    An exporter meat factory cannot be filth as you say because they lost immediately the license after inspection made by the EU for example.

    But sure you have ever been in an export meat factory in Argentina or elsewhere so as always you talk BS all the time.

    Meat factories inspections covers hygiene, safety, they even look for any bacteria, sterilisation, dirt under inox table, floors that have to be made of especial anti-acid material, corners or the of the rooms that have to be rounded to don’t allow dirt or bacteria to be in, the quality of water that have to be extracted from 120mts deep with especial pumps, clothing and shoes used by workers that have to be white and perfect clean, instrument used to manufacture the meat, envelops and packaging system that have to be approved by them, etc, etc.

    So my question is...

    If you are so smart and so efficient as you say why you don’t manufacture you own milk and create your own distribution chain?

    That will be so easy because sure you will sale Milk or vegetables in Bs Aires for the same price as Farm gates.

    Ha ha ha

    An specialist in the farming sector that have no idea of the margins used in the distribution change.

    Amazing how people can talk BS.

    And I could not agree more, so why wouldn't the government let us do so in the first place by eliminating all these controls, taxes, subsidies to its friends, retarded regulations, allow things to develop locally and a long etc???
    Why don’t we eliminate the MAFIAS that populate the Mercado de Abasto and so on ???

    @CabezaDura

    what government are you talking about? De la Sota in Córdoba?

    Taxes are composed by national taxes like for example VAT (IVA) and Income tax (impuesto a las ganancias) import export, etc.

    That after collected by AFIP the 57,66 are returned to the provinces depending with the
    distribution law (ley de coparticiación) that all representatives in congress (senadores y diputados de las provincias) of each province have voted for it.

    That is the same since 1988 “Menen lo hizo”

    http://epresup.mecon.gov.ar/foro_presupuesto/files/otrasnormas/coparticipacionfederalderecursosfiscales.pdf

    The only f@cked province there is Buenos Aires that contributes with more than 36% of the taxes and only receives 19.93%

    VAT and export taxes are the same since 1995 Cavallo increased them from 18 to 21% VAT and also taxes over exports, taxes over cheques, etc.
    To meet the target imposed by IMF during the Tequila Crisis in 1995.
    So basicly since Cavallo and Menem era taxes are the same with on the shiiiiiit in it like a copy paste from Italy. The same mess.

    Here the news from EL Pais that still is online
    http://epresup.mecon.gov.ar/foro_presupuesto/files/otrasnormas/coparticipacionfederalderecursosfiscales.pdf

    The rest of the taxes are created or modify by each province like Ingresos Brutos, Impuesto inmobiliario (rentas) and municipalidades.

    there is nothing that banned you to create your own distribution and these regulations like from SENASA, Bromatologia, etc exists since Martinez de Hoz.

    And the central Market was created by the militaries and only applies for Buenos Aires BTW “Mercado de abasto” since the 1984 that does not exist any more “Menen lo hizo”

    So as you can see if you are in Córdoba and you already have said that You don’t need Buenos Aires, etc.

    There is nothing that can stop you to create your own distribution chain in Córdoba, etc.

    Sad that you don’t need Buenos Aires otherwise I will tell you how to star in Buenos Aires without having to put a foot in the Central Market.
