MATba Rofex is Argentina's leading derivatives exchange, formed in 2019 through the merger of the Buenos Aires Cereals Market (MATba, founded 1907) and the Rosario Futures Exchange (Rofex, founded 1909). As Argentina's primary exchange for agricultural commodity futures, it trades soybeans, corn, wheat, sunflower seed, and soybean products alongside financial futures including US dollar, sovereign bonds, and equity index contracts. MATba Rofex is critical for Argentine agribusiness hedging, as Argentina is one of the world's top soybean exporters.

Canola futures, the exchange's flagship contract, continue to be one of the most actively traded agricultural derivatives globally under ICE.
