# Argentina came in last: policies cut farm income by around 15%

> The OECD’s 2026 Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation report ranked Argentina last among 56 markets for the effect of public policies on farm income in 2025. It estimated Argentine producers’ gross receipts were reduced by about 15%, with export duties identified as the main cause; the 2025 estimate is preliminary.

## Why it matters

Export duties reduce the net returns farmers receive and can weaken incentives to plant or invest, potentially restraining future Argentine crop supply. This is a policy impact assessment rather than a new tax announcement, so its immediate price effect is limited.
