# Argentina remains the country that extracts the most resources from agriculture, with the burden equal to 13.5% of its income

> An OECD report again places Argentina among the only three countries, with Vietnam and India, where support to agricultural production is negative. An economist estimates the average 2023-2025 extraction at 13.5% of gross farm income, about US$8.6 billion a year, mainly through export duties such as the 24% soybean rate.

## Why it matters

Heavy export taxation reduces the volume Argentina sells abroad and supports world oilseed meal and oil prices, so easing duties would add export supply. The article analyses existing policy and does not announce a new change.
