The Ministry of Economy, led by Luis Caputo, has enabled companies to formally request the opening of markets for agribusiness products through an online procedure, via Resolution 1749/2025 published this Thursday in the Official Gazette. The regulation approved the 'Procedure for the Application to Open Markets for Agribusiness Products', allowing companies to formally propose to the Executive Branch new export destinations for their goods. In this regard, it established that the new approved procedure 'is the only formal channel through which interested parties may request the opening of markets' and determined that all procedures must be mandatorily processed through the Remote Procedures Platform (TAD). Entrepreneurs and producers must complete the Application Form with the required data and, optionally, as an attachment, they can include a note addressed to the competent authority 'indicating the reasons, grounds, and interests in operating the market whose opening is requested'. The admissibility and execution of the applications submitted will be analyzed by the National Directorate of Cooperation and International Articulation of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries. This area will prepare a report on the feasibility of opening the proposed market and, if appropriate, will include it within its negotiation priorities. In arguing for the measure, the Government stated that 'it is essential to carry out a process of intelligent insertion into the world, considering the strategic aspects of Argentine foreign policy, trade policy, and agribusiness and fisheries policy,' indicating that 'to this effect, it is necessary to provide transparency to the process of selecting markets to negotiate, considering the economic and political interest.' Furthermore, it emphasized that the new procedure through the single-window system 'will allow for the unification and evaluation of requests made by the private sector to the agencies involved in the negotiation and opening of external markets.' Likewise, it specified that this initiative is framed within the 'Good Practices in Simplification Matters,' applicable to the functioning of the National Public Sector, and highlighted that 'formalizing the procedure for requesting the opening of markets will have the effect of ordering the efforts and resources of the jurisdiction aimed at these objectives.'
