Farmers in Argentina, a major global grains exporter, are keen for economic policy changes to boost trade, but said they were concerned over the lack of experience of Javier Milei, the right-wing presidential candidate who took a surprise first place in Sunday's primary.
Some agricultural and rural leaders expressed hope that the result would mean more market-friendly economic policies after a government led for almost four years by the center-left Peronists, long seen as the nemesis of the country's powerful farm sector. But others in the traditionally conservative sector worried about Milei's fiery rhetoric and relative inexperience in politics.
While opinion polls leading up to the primary vote indicated Milei could do well, none predicted that the first-term federal lawmaker from the capital would outperform the center-right opposition or the embattled Peronists.
