Argentine President Javier Milei has told his country's struggling farmers that he was committed to scraping export taxes and rescuing the key agricultural industry.
Argentine President Javier Milei waves to supporters from a car as he arrives at the opening ceremony of the Rural Society's annual exposition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sunday, July 28, 2024. – Addressing crowds of struggling farmers in flat caps and home-knit sweaters who helped vault him to power but have grown increasingly impatient with his progress, President Javier Milei on Sunday vowed to scrap export taxes and rescue Argentina's key agricultural industry.
Today, Argentina remains one of the biggest livestock and grain producers but its more dubious distinctions include being beset with one of the world’s highest debt burdens and highest annual inflation rates. “There are sufficient reasons to complain, but we prefer at this time to appeal to the patience of the men and women of the countryside,” Pino said. “We believe it's useful to give the government some space for trust.
“We need clarification about some of these recent economic measures,” said Elbio Laucirica, the head of another agribusiness group.
