Liaison Board members announced they will hold a strike to protest against the property tax increase in the Buenos Aires province, among other issues.
The halt in sales of grains and meat will begin at midnight on Tuesday and end on midnight Wednesday June 12th.
“Costs, particularly taxes, have increased non-stop for farmers and thus our incomes have been diminished,” FAA head Eduardo Buzzi explained in a press conference.
«Something is going very wrong in Argentina’s farms, which is why we are sending this wake-up call,» Eduardo Buzzi, head of the Argentine Agrarian Federation (FAA), told reporters.»We are in bad shape and getting worse,» he added.
The Liaison Board is conformed by the four leaders of the most important Argentine farming entities including the Rural Society (SRA), the Argentine Agrarian Federation (FAA), the Rural Confederation and CONINAGRO.
