  Argentina is still a net exporter of food, therefor it's in Argentina's best interest to raise prices of food. VERY simple, elementary concept of economics durp.
  If Argentina did feel drastic measures were needed, it could subsidize prices for home consumption, but still continue to raise global food price.

  “Argentina is still a net exporter of food”
  
  Maybe Argentina should put a little aside for the poor children?

  Maybe some of France's food mountains should go to feed the Argentineans?

  Most coutryes already have subsidies, grants, tax ckickbacks, insentives, tax break and many other tools to achieve selfsuficiency, this regulations might be aimed at some sort of quota limiting agro produsing contries to peg their productive land to a otherways unprofitable market.
  It would be good to table a none binding meeting and see if this regulations addresses the human balue rather then the profit margins.

  #3 I doubt this regulations will be aimed at forcing 3rd world countries to fill national quotas first.
