Overview

• Decree 682/2025 set export duties at 0% up to a US$7,000 million cap or October 31, and the cap was reached in three days after DJVEs logged more than 19.5 million tonnes at the zero rate.
• Coalición Cívica deputies Victoria Borrego and Juan Manuel López filed an information request to Economy Minister Luis Caputo asking whether declared goods existed and were in exporters’ possession on the filing date.
• They also asked what actions the state will take if possession cannot be verified, citing the collection mechanism under law No. 21.453.
• The deputies urged committee chairs José Luis Espert and Atilio Benedetti to call a joint session to review the decree’s effects and advance bills to permanently eliminate DEX on farm products.
• Coninagro said the brief measure failed to benefit primary producers, noting exporters have up to 360 days to ship and that a survey shows seven firms captured about 86% of the zero-duty business.
