Changes in wheat grains export limit 'don't mean anything,' Biolcati

The head of the Argentine Rural Society, Hugo Biolcati, warned that the Government’s decision to expand the limit on wheat grain exports to 450,000 tons “don’t mean anything” because they don’t really an effect on the farming sector.

Biolcati also said last Sunday’s elections in the Santa Fe province “proved false the notion that the farming sector would once again vote for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.”

“Clearly that was wrong,” he stated.

“After such a result, and knowing how necessary it is for Scioli to know he’s got the support of the farming sector, so now he’s looking top play nice and do something he never did before. He thinks his announcements are just a headline on a newspaper, but it’s actually an insult to us,” he assured.

For Biolcati, when the Buenos Aires governor announces that he’s going to ask for an additional 300,000 tons in wheat grain exports when "that doesn’t even represent an 8 percent of what farm producers aren’t allowed to sell, is an insult,” the farming leader explained.

“He knows what he should be demanding for is a new trade system. He could step up and demand for the normalization of wheat grain exports for the people of his province,” he said.

“He is not doing it and he will never do it, because he’s obsequious and he will always be,” Biolcati stated.
