# Lowered taxes to boost Argentine soyabean meal and oil exports

> Argentina announced a cut in export duties on soybean oil and soybean meal from 33% to 31%, with the change expected about four weeks after the 25 November announcement. A preferential soy dollar exchange rate runs from 28 November to year-end, and farmers are not expected to sell as much as in September.
