A Kuka said that honey could not be exported to Europe: two hours later the first shipment came out

In an event that marks a before and after for regional economies, Argentina completed the first export of honey to the European Union with a 0% tariff, within the framework of the Mercosur-EU agreement. The shipment left Concordia, Entre Ríos, and represents the beginning of a new phase for the beekeeping sector

.

The shipment —64 cartons of natural honey, with a total weight of 20,986 kilos— was destined for the German company Langnese Honig GmbH & Co., one of the main importers of the sector in Europe. Until April 30, this same product faced a 17.3% tariff, limiting its competitiveness

.

The official certification was issued by the Ministry of Economy, allowing the use of the quotas granted by the European Union to Mercosur. This confirms that the agreement is already operational and generating concrete results.

The viral tweet that was exposed: he stated the opposite hours before

In parallel with this advance, a tweet from a Kuka circulated on social networks, stating that Argentina could not export honey to Europe due to alleged technical restrictions linked to the drums

used in transport.

The statement was not only incorrect, but it was refuted in a matter of hours by reality itself: while the message was gaining diffusion, the country was already making an export under more favorable conditions

than ever.

The contrast highlighted the fragility of certain discourses that seek to install uncertainty in key productive sectors, even in the face of verifiable facts.
