The reduction of taxes and regulations drove strong growth of the agricultural sector in global markets

Argentina reached a historic record of agro-industrial exports in 2025, consolidating a strong rebound of the sector after years of stagnation, loss of competitiveness, and productive decline. According to official data, the country exported 115.41 million tons, the largest volume recorded in at least the last seven years.
The result represents year-on-year growth of 12%, a clear sign of reactivation of Argentina's productive framework. A substantial improvement in the exported value was added to this performance: external sales of the agro-industrial complex reached 52.337 billion dollars, which implies an increase of 9% compared with the previous year, in a demanding international context with volatile prices.

One of the most notable aspects of the report is the diversification of export growth. A total of 132 agro-industrial products recorded their highest exported volume in at least seven years, which reflects a cross-cutting expansion of the sector and not one concentrated solely in traditional complexes. Taken together, these products accounted for 42 million tons, equivalent to 36.5% of the total exported volume.
This performance confirms a change in structural trend. After years of policies aimed at punishing production through tax pressure, excessive regulations, and discretionary interventions, the new economic framework began to show concrete results. The deregulation driven by the Government, together with the reduction of administrative obstacles and a clear signal of predictability, allowed producers to plan, invest, and expand their export capacity again.

The growth of agriculture not only impacts foreign trade, but strengthens the accumulation of foreign currency, improves the trade balance, and generates genuine employment throughout the productive interior. In a challenging global scenario, the sector's ability to increase exported volume and value demonstrates competitiveness and long-term potential.
Unlike previous models, which were based on interventionism and distrust toward the private sector, the current approach seeks to unleash productive forces. The result is forceful: when taxes and regulations are reduced, agriculture responds. With these figures, the agro-industrial sector is once again positioning itself as one of the central pillars of Argentina's economic growth.
