The Government of Javier Milei reported that Argentina has completed 100% of the egg export quota to the European Union with zero tariffs in just 15 days since the agreement came into effect, a fact that reflects the rapid response of the national productive sector to the opening of new markets.
According to details provided by the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, exports reached a total of 333 tons, corresponding to production from various farms located in the provinces of Entre Ríos, Córdoba, and Buenos Aires.
These products are processed before distribution in the European market, thus consolidating Argentina's insertion into one of the most demanding destinations internationally.
The message from Caputo.
In his message, Caputo emphasized the factors that allowed this result to be achieved in such a short time. “Argentina completed 100% of the egg export quota to the European Union 15 days after the agreement came into effect,” he stated, while highlighting that this performance is a direct consequence of the coordinated work between the public and private sectors.
The head of the Ministry of Finance focused on the role of producers and the conditions that facilitated export growth. “Behind this new achievement of the Argentine agricultural sector is a lot of work from producers, investments, improvements in local competitiveness, and market openings,” he noted.
The total compliance with the quota in record time marks a milestone for the national poultry chain, which quickly positioned itself in a commercial scheme that demands high sanitary, logistical, and productive standards. The speed with which the available limit was reached also evidences the European market's interest in Argentine products.

In this regard, the minister emphasized the importance of continuing to deepen trade ties with the European bloc and advancing in the reduction of tariff barriers. “Deepening trade with the European Union and advancing agreements that reduce tariffs is essential for Argentine companies to export more and better,” he asserted.
This performance in the poultry segment is complemented by another relevant fact that reinforces the export trend: Argentina concentrated more than 80% of the first zero-tariff honey export quota assigned to Mercosur by the European Union.
This initial contingent of 1,400 tons was exhausted in just four days, reflecting the country's strong positioning in that market.
