A leading figure in Brazil's food industry has delivered a two-sided assessment of Javier Milei's economic reforms in Argentina. Ariovaldo Zani, who represents the Brazilian animal feed industry, described the measures as very hard and said they harm the poorest above all. Even so, he believes the reforms could help pull foreign investment into the country. His warning centers on the social damage, which he says lands mainly on people least able to absorb it. On structure, Zani backs a smaller state and wants the private sector to take on a bigger role. That stance puts him partly in step with Milei while still objecting to the human cost. The industry he speaks for watches Argentina closely, since the two countries trade heavily in food products.
