Export-heavy partner mix
Argentina in the export-led third
Exports are 90% of total ag trade for Argentina, an upper-third export share among FAO partners in this extract.
Argentina is export-led (90% of trade is exports); concentration in the top-exports table is the first place to watch for tariff shock. Leading export: Cake of soya beans; leading import: Soya beans. US MFN duties follow the product's HTS classification, not origin; Argentina-origin shipments may still qualify for preferential Special rates under applicable FTAs.
