Argentina cut export taxes on soymeal and soyoil to 24.5% from 31%, unprocessed soybeans to 26% from 33%, and corn and wheat to 9.5% from 12%. Reductions also apply to barley and sunflower.
The government aims to help farmers hit by drought and low global prices.
Lower export taxes make Argentine product more competitive abroad and encourage farmers to sell stored stocks, adding export supply to world markets and pressuring soybean complex and corn prices.
