With the aim of consolidating the path of reducing the tax burden and providing predictability to stakeholders in the agro-industrial sector, the National Government formalized a new reduction in export duties for grains and by-products through Decree N° 423/2026.
For wheat and barley chains, a new 2 percentage point reduction in export duties has been established, which will come into effect tomorrow. The measure seeks to strengthen competitiveness and incentivize planting for the new campaign.
For the rest of the grains - soybeans, corn, sunflower, and sorghum - and their by-products, a progressive reduction schedule for export duties will be implemented between January 2027 and December 2028, as provided in the annexes of the decree.
In the case of soybeans and their derivatives, the scheme includes a decrease of 0.25 percentage points per month starting in January 2027 and 0.5 percentage points per month starting in January 2028.
Upon the entry into force of the regulation, Sworn Declarations of Sales Abroad (DJVE) can be registered for shipments starting in January 2027, paying the corresponding reduced rates. This will allow anticipating operations, facilitating commercial planning, and developing future business under the new conditions, without the need to wait for the start of the tax relief schedule.
Furthermore, the tax rate applicable to biodiesel produced from alternative oils, such as safflower, rapeseed, carinata, and camelina, is reduced to 0%, with the aim of promoting the development of new value chains linked to biofuels, including the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), an industry with enormous growth potential in the coming years.
Agro-industry is one of the pillars of Argentine development: it generates production, drives investment, accounts for most of our exports, and boosts regional economies, providing opportunities throughout the country. The measures adopted in these two years have received a strong response from the sector, reflected in record levels of harvest, production, and exports, strengthening economic activity and foreign exchange generation.
The direction is clear: fewer taxes, more production, more investment, and more exports. We continue to build a more open and competitive economy, preserving macroeconomic consistency to ensure that this process is sustainable over time.
