Argentina agriculture could add 850k jobs in 10 years if export retentions removed

FADA estimates that eliminating export retentions could boost agro-industrial chains to create 850,000 jobs over a decade, driven by increased grain production and downstream effects on industry, meat, and transportation. The sector currently accounts for 22.8% of private employment. The claim is an estimate from a sector association, not a government projection, and depends on policy change.
