# Record in 25 years: agro sector brings in US$2.88 billion in October and year-to-date exceeds US$25.1 billion

> CIARA-CEC reported that Argentina's grain and derivatives exporters brought in US$2.88 billion in foreign currency during October 2026, the highest October figure in 25 years. That was 10% below September but up 157% year on year, driven largely by corn and wheat shipments. The 2026 year-to-date total reached US$25.156 billion, 14% below the same period in the prior year.

## Why it matters

Strong corn and wheat export shipments tighten Argentine exportable supplies and support export prices. Higher dollar inflows also add peso-side demand, but the figures mainly reflect delayed sales after last year's temporary duty suspension.
