It will be in force from February 1 of this year until January 31, 2024.
The Ministry of Economy of the Nation declared a state of emergency for the establishments in the province of Santiago del Estero affected by the severe and prolonged drought that has been punishing a large part of the country since last spring. Horticultural and fruit and vegetable productions will be included; corn, sunflower, wheat, cotton and sorghum crops; grass, gatton, alfalfa and buffel forage; large and small cattle, meat and milk companies; and beekeeping.
After analyzing the request from Santiago del Estero submitted in mid-February, the National Commission for Agricultural Emergencies and Disasters (CNEDA) recommended declaring a state of agricultural emergency in the province from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024 as end date of the production cycle, as established by Resolution 437/2023 published today in the Official Gazette.
In order to access the benefits granted by Law No. 26,509 (Agricultural Emergency Law) and its amendments, affected producers must present the certificate issued by the provincial authority stating that their properties or farms are included in the cases provided for by the standard.
For its part, the provincial government will be responsible for sending the list of victims and a copy of the emergency certificate issued by the competent provincial authority to the Executive Technical Secretariat of the CNEDA.
The national, official or mixed banking institutions and the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) will arbitrate the necessary means so that the covered agricultural producers enjoy the benefits provided by the Agricultural Emergency Law and its amendments.
