# Argentina may change tax structure on grain exports - DatamarNews

> Argentina's government may cut the soybean export tax from 33% to 28% and raise the wheat and corn export taxes from 12% to 15%, according to a market analyst. The government has not confirmed the change. A Valor Econômico report also said the state takes about 63% of producer income across crops.

## Why it matters

A lower soybean tax would encourage farmers to sell and expand soybean output, adding export supply and pressuring soybean prices. The proposed corn and wheat tax increase would shift planting incentives, but the change is unconfirmed.
