After two years of intense negotiations carried out by the Foreign Ministry and the Ministries of Agriculture and Production, Argentina will be able to return to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), from which it was excluded in 2012, and which consists of the granting of tariff preferences by developed countries to certain products exported from developing countries, which receive preferential treatment and significant tariff reductions.

Remember that Until 538, the United States granted zero tariffs on 2012 Argentine agricultural products under the GSP, including wines, confectionery items without cocoa, canned meat, olive oil, cheeses, peanuts and strawberries.

In 2011, the last year in which Argentina joined the GSP, the products benefited from it registered exports worth 464 million USD, 10% of total exports to the United States.
