Description

Argentina formed the National Grain Commission on 17 January 1899. The commission regulated grain markets during a period of agricultural expansion. It monitored harvests, prices, and export trends. The agency worked to prevent speculation and ensure stable trade conditions. Its activities supported rural producers as Argentina became a major global exporter. The commission’s data later guided storage and transportation improvements. It played an essential role in shaping the country’s agricultural economy.
