Unrelenting sun in Argentina has scorched as much as a fifth of its corn crop and the drought will start biting into the country's vast soy harvest unless rains come to the rescue this month or next.

Un total de 27 distritos de la provincia de Buenos Aires fueron declarados en emergencia por sequía, en una nueva reunión que se desarrolló este jueves en la Comisión de Emergencia y Desastre Agropecuario (Cedaba).

Los municipios declarados en emergencia son Alberti, Bragado, Navarro, Tornquist, Saladillo, Puán, Coronel Suárez, 25 de Mayo, Saavedra, Pergamino, 9 de Julio, Bolívar, Castelli, General Belgrano, Ramallo, Bahía Blanca, Adolfo Alsina, Junín, Daireaux, Olavarría, General Alvear, Guaminí, Azul, San Nicolás, Exaltación de la Cruz, Campana y La Madrid.

Para medir los grados de afectación se utilizó un índice que el Ministerio de Agroindustria de la provincia trabajó con la Dirección de Clima de INTA, que también será usado por Córdoba y Santa Fe y -finalmente- la Nación en el momento de la homologación.

La Cedaba está integrada por representantes del Estado y las entidades del sector agropecuario a nivel provincial y su función es analizar la documentación correspondiente en cada solicitud para resolver las declaraciones de emergencia agropecuaria.

Estas medidas permiten, específicamente, beneficios impositivos para campos con más del 50 por ciento de afectación como prórrogas en el pago de impuestos como el Inmobiliario Rural y reprogramación de obligaciones con el Banco Provincia.
