Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro has called for a unified effort to enact legislation ending export taxes, emphasizing the necessity for Argentina to become more competitive in global markets. Speaking at the 142nd anniversary of the Rosario Stock Exchange, Pullaro asserted that "we have to work together to have a law in Congress that ends retentions because we need to be competitive."

Pullaro also pointed to his administration's commitment to the agricultural sector, noting significant investments in infrastructure projects that have long been awaited by producers. He stated that his government "invested in works that waited years to support our productive sector."
