During these dates, agreed with companies in the sector, Follow-ups will be carried out to corroborate the correct compliance with prices and supply of the cuts from meat. “We are going to put a lot of emphasis on this agreement,” said Roberto Feletti, head of the Secretariat.

Frozen Prices
In tune with the accessible prices of barbecue cuts for the Holidays, as published in the Official Gazette, Argentines also have the possibility of accessing various typical products of the Christmas basket that are reached by freezing.
Based on the latest changes to the list, different brands of sweet bread (with or without fruits), puddings, ciders, sparkling wines and marshmallows were added. In this way, classic products of the time such as caramelised or nougat were left out.

“The modifications are due to a readjustment given the proximity of the end of the year festivities,” Feletti remarked. In turn, he clarified that they are also part of the continuous conversations that he still has with companies to renew frozen prices after the January 7th.
Before the update of the list was published, the Consumidores Libres group had published a report that found that some 24 selected products from the basket had increased by 64.4% compared to 2020 in supermarkets in the City of Buenos Aires.
