# Export taxes on agriculture: Before farm producers, Bahillo discusses gradual reduction in the rate

> Argentina’s Agriculture Secretary Juan José Bahillo said export taxes on the agricultural sector could be replaced gradually with a more progressive system taxing income or assets tied to additional production. He said the transition would need to preserve government revenue, while criticizing the slow pace of crop-sale proceeds being brought into the country despite a preferential exchange rate.

## Why it matters

A gradual reduction in export taxes could improve farm-gate returns and encourage Argentine producers to sell and export more grain and oilseeds, potentially increasing export supply and weighing on global prices. The proposed replacement system and gradual timeline mean the near-term impact remains uncertain.
