Argentina lifts export taxes on grains, beef and poultry Temporary measure aims to boost dollar inflow before elections23 September 2025 23 September 2025 2 minute read 2 minute read By: By: Global Ag Media South AmericaArgentina's government on Monday temporarily eliminated export taxes on grains and their by-products, as well as on beef and poultry, in a bid to speed up sales abroad and rake in much-needed dollars to prop up the flagging peso currency, reported Reuters. The decree published Monday suspends export taxes on soy, corn, wheat and their by-products, including biodiesel. Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni later said that beef and poultry exports would also be tax-exempt through the end of October. However, the temporary measure could backfire, she and others warned, saying that by creating a short-term rush to sell, the resulting supply glut could limit potential price increases. "This has happened in the past, and any temporary measure usually causes supply to greatly outweigh demand," he added.
