El Río Negro Government He proposed today the total exemption of the payment of Gross Income for the production of pears and apples that will be crystallized in a bill that will be raised in the next hours to the provincial legislature.

Rio Negro fruit production "is the great engine for generating intensive labor and social support, with more than 200 wages per hectare in all stages," considered the governor. Arabela Racing.

The measure adds benefits to agricultural and forestry producers, rural contractors, packing sheds, refrigerators, wineries, juicers, fishermen, ice factories, packaging manufacturing, mining producers and sawmills, among others. According to what was reported, the proposal "improves the competitiveness of companies by reducing the negative impact that this tax generates on the inputs necessary for the production of exportable goods."

The idea is that an impact will also be achieved by lowering the price in the domestic market, which generates a comparative advantage for the Rio Negro producer. "Fruit growing in particular offers raw materials to countless industries that are taxed, so we cannot put the main provider of the rest of the services at risk," explained the governor. The Rio Negro president added that "we cannot look at fruit growing as a mere primary activity, but as one with high added value."

The government assured that "this measure is in line with the implementation of the National Plan to Fight Hunger, launched by the National Government and where the province will have a strong participation."
