The fresh green groceries sector in Argentina enjoin it is still too early to say what the essence will be , just over a month after Modern President Javier Milei take over and introduced several raw measures to help steady the country ’s monetary resource . Latin America ’s biggest economic system now has the world ’s worst one-year splashiness rate at 211 % , according to official regime figures , exceed that of Venezuela , which has long held this pole position .

A large manufacturer and exporter of citrus in Argentina name the post on the earth in the country : " So , it ’s hard to have it away where Argentina is going to head to … What I can say is that the previous direction was definitely not working . If this is the right way or not is hard to screw yet , but at least what we are certain about is that he is definitely doing things . How it will affect Argentina , citrus and exports is still too other to lie with ; changes are way too late , and as I understand it , they are just the initial ones to stop the consistent deficit that Argentina has . Then they will move on to other subject which should help our exports / imports . Once again , it ’s too other to know what is pass to materialize ! mayhap these changes will make thing worse ? "
The measures President Milei declare as so - called ' shock therapy ' to the entire system include devalue the Peso by 50 % to the US dollar , canceling government subsidies and contracts , etc . These are all mean to help conquer consumption , be more mart - friendly , and finally lead to a more stable economic system . In the oddment , the aim is to ease the troth of a big part of the population who are in poorness due to decades of different and unsuccessful economic insurance .
price exchange frequentlyDue to rampant ostentatiousness , the prices of goods change frequently . " At the minute in Argentina , everything is too expensive ; prices change every minute . the great unwashed go to the supermarket , check prices , then go to the next supermarket , realise that some things were cheaper at the first supermarket , go back to that first one , and the Mary Leontyne Price already exchange ! That ’s how crazy it is . Nobody knows even what prices to put on things . It will take some time for the marketplace to stabilize . "
Hope that Milei ’s changes are positivistic in the tenacious run"I do personally have hopes that these changes will be skillful for Argentina in the mid - farseeing run . Right now , in the short term , they are toughened . But Milei very understandably said that he was going to make these changes and that it was move to be a very elusive commencement . I just go for Argentineans are able to make it this first short term to be able to have the chairwoman go on with the changes that Argentina needs . "
Another manufacturer and exporter in Tucuman tell they are also watching , waiting , and hop that things turn around for the land after this initial period of action by the president . " There are changes in authorities , not only nationally but also in each responsibility . There are positions without their knob , so there are no exculpated measures and their possible impact . "
They say that while the devaluing of the Peso is good for the fruit exportation sector , the input price such as chemical substance and machinery are becoming even more expensive . Argentinian have already held several protest actions to oppose the austerity measures . Experts say the Milei government aims to deepen the asceticism measures .
