Argentina's government suspended soybean meal and oil exports, citing rumors of a tax increase amid soaring raw material costs linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The suspension is expected to prevent firms from registering future exports before the tax rise takes effect.
A sudden export freeze from the largest soymeal exporter removes significant supply from world markets, pushing up global soymeal and soyoil prices.
