349 MtCO2eq is the net emissions limit to which Argentina has committed itself by 2030, representing a 19% decrease compared to the peak reached in 2007 (OECD, 2024).
0.1 % of GDP was the budget support to agriculture in 2021-23, while the Total Support Estimate (TSE) remained negative from -0.8 % in 2000-02 to -1.6 % in 2021-23 (OECD, 2024).
