Overview
- The national government formalized emergency and disaster declarations on Wednesday, May 27, when resolutions published in the Boletín Oficial set multi‑month assistance windows for affected provinces.
- Resolution 746/2026 covers all livestock operations in Chubut for drought damage, sets the productive cycle end at January 7, 2027, and requires provincial certification for producers to access benefits.
- Resolution 792/2026 applies to Santa Cruz livestock hit by drought and strong winds, runs from February 3, 2026 to February 3, 2027, and uses the same certification and assistance mechanisms as Chubut.
- Resolution 765/2026 covers 14–16 departments in Mendoza for frost and hail damage, distinguishes emergency (50–79% losses) from disaster (80% or more losses), and sets frost and hail coverage periods through March 31, 2027 and January 1, 2027 respectively.
- The measures activate tax deferrals or exemptions, special financing via national and provincial banks and coordination with ARCA, but provinces must submit lists of certified producers and the precise credit terms and program rollouts remain to be implemented, affecting how quickly farmers and ranchers receive help.
