Jesús María Rural Society president, Eduardo Riera, questioned the taxes and fees paid by Córdoba producers.
One of these is the livestock movement permit, a tax charged by municipalities and communes for transporting animals even within the same farm.
“We can't continue postponing the immediate elimination, by law, of the livestock movement permits that municipalities and communes in Córdoba are still charging today,” Riera stated.
Livestock movement permits, "an internal customs"
“They are a true internal customs that penalizes the movement of livestock within the province's own territory, even between fields belonging to the same producer,” he added.
On Saturday, the main arena at the Malabrigo grounds was once again dressed up for the Inaugural Ceremony of the 78th Rural Exhibition of Industry and Commerce of the Jesús María Rural Society, the most important in northern Córdoba.

The official platform did not feature the main figures of the provincial government, although Governor Martín Llaryora visited on Friday, the opening day.
Riera also criticized the provincial government for the significant increases in the Rural Tax, Gross Income Tax, and Stamp Tax.
"It is urgent to review the burden of distortive taxes such as the stamp tax on the purchase of productive machinery.”
Also, the Gross Income Tax “applied to activities directly linked to agriculture, which ultimately affects the competitiveness of the entire chain.”

In this context, the president of the Jesús María Rural Society urged the provincial government to invite the sector to the negotiation table for the 2026 Rural Property Tax.
“We want to make something very clear: there is no more room for increases. The sector is already at its limit, and an increase in the rural property tax would be a direct blow to employment, investment, and local roots,” Riera exclaimed, who also complained about export duties.
