The Chamber of the Oil Industry of the Argentine Republic (Ciara) and the Cereal Exporters Center (CEC) – Entities representing 48 % of Argentine exports – announced that, during April, companies in the sector liquidated the sum of U $ 2,524 million. In this way, export income so far from 2025 They exceeded US $ 8,000 million.
The revealed numbers imply an increase in 32% with respect to the data corresponding to the same month of 2024. In addition, it also meant an increase in 34% compared to March.
The increase in agro -exports
In detail, the data mark an annual increase – from January to April – from 35%, which represents a total figure of U $ 8,658,963,249 in agro exports so far this year.
As explained by the Ciara and the CEC, “the entry of currencies of the month of April is the result of the reduction of export rights under Decree 38/25, a new exchange regime that impact on the grain market with export sales, as well as the beginning of the soybean harvest in recent days of April”.
Monthly currency income, transformed into pesos, It is the mechanism that allows to continue buying grains from producers at a competitive value. The liquidation of currencies is fundamentally related to the purchase of grains that will then be exported, either in the same state or as processed products, after an industrial transformation.
It should be noted that most of the currency income in this sector occurs well in advance of export, which is around 30 days in the case of the export of grains and reaches up to 90 days in the case of the export of oils and protein flours. That anticipation also depends on the moment of the campaign and the grain in question, So there are no delays in currency settlement that was informed.
On the other hand, from the Ciara and the CEC also detailed that, in the agricultural sector, statistical comparisons between different periods are generally inaccurate or inaccurate “because the currency settlement is strongly influenced by the commercial cycle of the grains. It may be affected by exogenous factors such as; International price oscillations; Offer retraction; different volume and protein value of crops; climatic conditions; holidays; union force measures; regulatory modifications; tariff and tariff barriers abroad; Phytosanitary or quality requirements of other countries, and so on.
Dollars: they expect that the agricultural sector could generate additional exports for US $17,000 million
The agricultural sector could generate additional exports for more than US $ 17,000 million in 10 years, according to a study by the Rosario Stock Exchange.
This amount is “a value comparable to that currently generates the entire soy complex “, He pointed out Agmemod’s work (acronym for Agricultural Member State Modelling). The magnitude of this projected impact indicates that, if certain conditions are completed, the Argentine agriculture has the ability to add a “second export complex” with potential for potential boost the national economy.
This productive and export jump could be achieved under a specific set of assumptions, and accompanied by key transformations in the sector. The projection arises from a new study of the Rosario Commerce (BCR) that was presented last Friday at the headquarters of that institution.
To perform this estimate, Agmemod Argentina was used, a “Economic simulation tool” That was “Adapted to the Argentine context by the Department of Reports and Economic Studies (DIYEE) of the BCR”. Thus, it was allowed to “simulate long -term scenarios for agriculture” and “build medium and long -term scenarios combining multiple variables: infrastructure, tax burden, exchange rate and technological gaps, among others.”
