Agricultural economic shifts in Argentina and Colombia

Overview

Agricultural sectors in Argentina and Colombia are navigating different economic and regulatory landscapes. In Argentina, the government implemented Decree 423/2026, reducing export taxes on wheat and barley from 7.5% to 5.5% to improve farm margins. Despite these lower rates, the Bolsa de Comercio de Rosario projects that export duties from major agro-industrial chains will contribute approximately $4.613 billion to the national treasury in 2026, as increased export volumes are expected to stabilize total revenue.

In Colombia, agricultural producers are facing financial pressure due to the appreciation of the peso against the US dollar. This currency shift is impacting various sectors, including coffee, flowers, bananas, palm oil, sugar, and avocado. Laura Valdivielso, president of Asocolflores, highlighted that the flower sector is struggling with reduced local currency income, rising labor costs, and new trade barriers.
