> At the third Argentine Agro-Industrial Forum (FARO) in Rosario, Santa Fe's productive development minister, Gustavo Puccini, said the province's port terminals moved 75.7 million tonnes in 2025. He called for lower export duties and described the provincial measures already in place, including tax relief and infrastructure spending.

## Why it matters

Santa Fe handles most of Argentina's grain and meal exports, so calls for lower duties signal continued pressure on the policy that shapes export flows and farmgate prices. The statement is a policy position and does not change current supply.
