IN SHORT: Argentine wheat farmers less paid

Argentine farmers say they are still being paid below-market prices for wheat despite a new government export system aimed at increasing competition among millers and exporters. Growers had long urged President Cristina Fernandez to free the wheat market from a government-imposed quota system designed to ensure abundant domestic food supplies, but which they said benefited buyers at their expense.
Last month, the government scrapped the unpopular quotas and said the total exportable wheat surplus would be cleared for export in a bid to avert oversupply and low prices for farmers.
