DECRETO SECRETARY-GENERAL 4.784 Minimum prices for various grains.

Bs. As., 26/7/72

VISTO file No. 5.112/72, established by decree No. 4.011 of 20 September 1971, and

CONSIDERING:

By decree No. 1,811 of 5 April 1972, the minimum compulsory prices for corn, granular sorghum, millet, sunflower, decayed corn and soybeans were established for the harvest of the agricultural cycle 1972/73.

In view of increased input prices, there is a need for a review of the levels specified in that act of government.

On the other hand, by decree 2.865 of 15 May 1972, the prices for the products of the fine harvest covered by Decree No. 1.811/72 were adjusted.

That, at the present juncture, it is considered timely and convenient to set levels that signify a real stimulus to increase the planting area of those grains that make up the so-called thick harvest.

That such facts and circumstances advise the relevant adjustment of the minimum values in question.

For this reason and attentive to the proposal of the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
