Argentina's agro-exporters brought in US$2.88 billion in foreign currency in October 2026, the highest October figure in 25 years, though down 10% from September. Year-to-date inflows through October reached US$25.16 billion, 14% below the same period a year earlier.
CIARA-CEC attributed the month's result to corn and soybean sales and meal crushing, plus wheat shipments from the 2025/26 crop.
Strong export liquidation signals heavy Argentine sales of corn, soybeans and meal into global markets, adding supply pressure on feed commodities. The year-to-date shortfall points to slower flows overall, partly because of the earlier duty-cut rush.
