Northwestern Argentina's bean production economy has received a boost with Mexico making changes to the criteria for duty-free quota allocation for black bean imports. Mexico has allocated quota for 70,000 tons of duty-free black beans from Argentina from April 28 to September 30, 2021. This decision is seen as a significant improvement for Argentina's legume exports, especially from the northwestern region. The Argentine Foreign Ministry and the Legume Chamber of the Argentine Republic (CLERA) have played a key role in securing this opportunity.
