In Tucumán, which is known worldwide for its high production of sugar, some grocery shelves are populated, for the wholesale and retail, with the product from Brazil.
As was seen, the sugar, which is marketed under the trademark "Ancaster", is manufactured by the Usina Bazan SA (Fazenda dois correct), in the town of Pontal, State of Sao Paulo. According to the inscriptions on the base plate, the Brazilian product (table sugar "A") is imported in our country and split the group Ledesma, owner of one of the largest mills in Argentina.
Sugar from Brazil entered the market more expensive Tucuman than the national average due to high tax rates that are set to import, as a protectionist measure for the local industry: It sells for 5.39 pesos a kilo in a supermarket wholesaler Poviña avenue to 1,200, and 6.30 pesos other retail trade in the capital, while the local product is selling at 5 pesos to the final consumer (3.95 wholesale).
addition, the volume of imports, officials said, would not exceed 20,000 tons (that would be the quota that would have authorized the national government in November 2010 to ensure domestic supply, but appeared only in the last days), when in the country are consumed monthly 120 000 tonnes.
