Argentine Minister of Productive Development, Matías Kulfas, is under investigation for allegedly suggesting a decrease in the price paid to yerba mate producers, a move that no previous official, including Guillermo Moreno, has dared to propose due to Argentina's high inflation. The decision on producer prices is made every six months by the National Yerba Mate Institute, with involvement from various chain actors, and currently, the prices are being maintained until August 30. The investigation stems from concerns about the sudden increase in wholesale yerba mate prices, which have led to difficulties in maintaining the consumer prices set during the quarantine.
