Argentina's oilseed crushers struck a pricing deal with the government to hold down domestic sunflower oil and sunflower-soy oil prices. The agreement came after President Fernandez threatened higher food export taxes to contain inflation, which a central bank poll forecast near 50% this year.
The deal may avert higher export taxes on soy products, reducing the risk of a sudden cut in Argentine soymeal and soyoil export availability. Tax uncertainty still weighs on other crops, so exporters may keep a risk premium.
