President Javier Milei reiterated at a Sociedad Rural Argentina meeting that his goal is to eliminate agricultural export taxes. He said further tax reductions would depend on maintaining a fiscal surplus and projected US$500 billion in tax relief through 2031, but announced no new cuts or timeline for ending the duties.
A future removal of export taxes could support Argentine export volumes and add to global grain and oilseed supply, weighing on prices. The pledge is conditional on fiscal surpluses and provides no date for implementation.
