# Argentrigo analyzes export duty cut: did the government act in time?

> Argentrigo welcomed the reduction of export duties on wheat and barley from 7.5% to 5.5%, effective June 2026, but said the duties should be eliminated completely. The group added that planting had already begun, so the cut is expected to affect fertilization decisions more than the planted area.

## Why it matters

A lower export tax raises farm-gate returns and export competitiveness for Argentine wheat and barley, which can add modest pressure on export prices, though the effect on area is limited.
