BUENOS AIRES, April 23 (Reuters) - Argentina is considering
an increase in grains export taxes, an official told local radio
on Friday, sparking concern among farm leaders who have long
worried that the Peronist government might further intervene in
the markets in a bid to control inflation.
The South American grains powerhouse is the world s No. 3
corn supplier and top exporter of soymeal livestock feed. It
already slaps a 33% tax on international soybean exports; 31% on
soymeal and soyoil; and 12% on corn and wheat. An increase in export taxes is being analyzed, Domestic
Commerce Secretary Paula Espanol said in a radio interview.
