Overview

• Input specialists say improved input‑to‑output prices could revive purchases of seeds, fertilizers, and technology, with decisions accelerated by the short window.
• Distributors report a brief freeze in payments as buyers and sellers sort out which exchange rate applies, warning of possible supply bottlenecks and credit constraints.
• Feedlot operators face higher feed costs if exporters pass through the tax break, with corn effectively about 9.5% pricier in dollars and margins already under pressure.
• Impact varies by region, with Mendoza’s livestock authority expecting minimal direct effects, while Coninagro figures call the move positive yet urge greater policy predictability.
• An independent estimate from IARAF puts the fiscal cost near USD 1 billion, as beef exports rose 8% in August and USDA projects further growth in shipments next year.
