Overview
- The Secretaría de Agricultura and BICE announced a new 'créditos a valor producto' line for purchasing high‑genetics bulls and cows at the Exposición Rural de Palermo on July 24, presented to producers at the fair.
- Repayments are fixed in kilos of novillo and settled in pesos using the INMAG price index, with the rate set at UVA plus 7% annual, maturities up to five years and up to 800 million pesos per project.
- Eligible borrowers are natural persons with an SGR guarantee or MiPyMEs registered in beef breeding, full‑cycle or stud operations with at least three years of activity.
- The line is the first to include reproductive livestock under the RIMI regime, giving beneficiaries accelerated tax amortization in Income Tax and faster VAT refunds to improve investment cash flow.
- The move builds on BICE’s value‑product program launched in 2025, which has approved about 25,000 million pesos so far, and comes as a leaked Sturzenegger draft proposing voluntary IPCVA funding drew strong industry rejection and officials tempered expectations for other immediate measures.
