Overview
- The Dirección Nacional de Control Agropecuario launched the mandatory declaration under the Secretaría de Agricultura with mills instructed to comply by September 5.
- Mills must report technical production data and machinery details and name the person responsible for calibrating the first‑break wheat scale after inspections found altered balances.
- Authorities will deploy automatic alerts and cross-checks of declared milling volumes against energy consumption and other datasets, with information sharing reported with ARCA.
- The Federación Argentina de la Industria Molinera and its president, Diego Cifarelli, endorsed the measure as a technology-led control that reduces informality without expanding bureaucracy.
- Industry figures cited indicate roughly 14% of 2024 milling output flowed through informal channels with losses valued in the hundreds of billions of pesos, underscoring the push for tighter oversight.
