# An unusual October boom: Agricultural exports reach 25-year high

> Argentina's agricultural exports earned US$2.8 billion in October, the strongest October in 25 years and up 157% year on year. The figure was 10% below September. The jump follows a temporary export tax cut in September 2025 and is attributed to lower devaluation expectations and the war in Ukraine.
