President Javier Milei opened the 138th Rural Exposition in Palermo on July 26 and reaffirmed the gradual elimination of export taxes. He highlighted progress in deregulation and market openings for the agricultural sector.
Milei called export taxes an aberration and confirmed the soy rate will drop to 15% in December 2028. He recalled reductions already applied to corn, wheat and other products.
The president defended more than a thousand deregulation measures, the removal of currency controls and the opening of over 500 international markets. He announced Starlink expansion in rural areas and connectivity kits for schools.
Mesa de Enlace leaders appreciated the commitment but called for a congressional law to eliminate export taxes permanently. Milei projected doubling grain production to 300 million tons.
