# For Arturo Navarro, the government will not be able to meet the schedule for eliminating export taxes and asked farm entities to "stop thinking about themselves"

> Former Confederaciones Rurales Argentinas president and agricultural analyst Arturo Navarro questioned the lack of concrete progress on reducing taxes and doubted the government can meet its announced schedule for eliminating export duties (retenciones), especially for soybeans. He said the government wants to keep this policy tool, and urged farm organizations to unify and discuss macroeconomic issues rather than regional problems.

## Why it matters

Export duties directly affect the farm-gate returns Argentine soybean and grain producers receive, so doubts about their removal can keep Argentine supply into export markets tied to tax policy rather than price. Uncertainty over the timetable supports a neutral-to-slightly-bullish view on soybean meal and oil export availability from Argentina.
