CRA Slams 72-Hour Soy Tax Waiver as Financial Deal Benefiting Exporters

Vice President Javier Rotondo says the move eroded farmers' trust, urging durable, production-focused measures.

Overview

  • The waiver was announced through October 31 but, according to CRA, operated for roughly 72 hours.
  • In that window, large grain companies liquidated about 7 billion dollars, Rotondo said.
  • More than 14 million tonnes were declared for export during the short exemption period, according to his account.
  • CRA contends the step targeted soy alone and benefited exporters rather than primary producers.
  • The organization denounces the measure as a currency fix, calls for predictable policy, and no official rebuttal is reported.
