The Argentine officials announced that they have plenty of wheat.  As a result of predicted high crop yields from upcoming harvests, the government decided to issue 450,000 tons of surplus wheat.

The surplus wheat will be split up among three provences of Argentina.  Those provences can then sell the wheat on the export market.  The action was encouraged by the Argentine Interior Commerce Secretary, Guillermo Moreno.

Argentina has a policy of maintaining large wheat surpluses, for food security.
