Argentina's Macri ditches wheat, corn, beef export taxes

Argentine President Mauricio Macri said he would sign a decree on Monday eliminating corn and wheat export taxes as part of his plan to revitalize the country's massive farm sector after years of antagonism with the government. The decree will also cut the export tax on soybeans, the country's main cash crop, from 35 percent to 30 percent.
