Following the increase in diesel prices for large consumers, the Oilseed and Wheat Producers Association (Anapo), through its president Abraham Nogales, called on the government to provide the conditions necessary to compete internationally.

Nogales outlined the difficulties facing the sector under the new diesel pricing regime established by Supreme Decree 5676, recently approved and still opposed by productive sectors.

The Anapo president said producers could accept the new diesel price, but demanded that the government lift export restrictions and allow the use of biotechnology.

He stressed that if the sector is expected to produce while paying international diesel prices, it should also be granted conditions similar to those of neighboring countries regarding biotechnology. He noted that producers still face restrictions in that area, as well as limitations on exports.

Nogales also recalled that among Anapo’s urgent demands is legal certainty for investments; however, none of the organization’s requests have yet received a response.

CONGRESS

For the first time, Anapo brought together experts from Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia at the International Congress on Sustainable Agriculture.

Participants shared practices and tools aimed at preserving soil fertility, addressing climate change, and adopting new technologies.
