Argentina poised to act on farms ...
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said the additional money raised would be spent on tackling poverty by building more housing, hospitals and roads.
She also apologised to anyone who had been offended by anything she had done.
On Monday, the farmers suspended the protests in the hope of returning to the negotiations with the government.
"I ask that all Argentines commit themselves to the fight against poverty and the redistribution of wealth," President Fernandez said in Buenos Aires.
"It is impossible to redistribute wealth without touching extraordinary profits."
Ms Fernandez's comments were criticised by one of the leaders of the farmers' movement.
Mario Llambiasi said it was wrong to single out the soya farmers as the sole source of revenue for social programmes.
Argentina raised export taxes on soy from 35% to 45% in March, trying to tap into an international commodities boom.
Argentina is one of the world's leading exporters of soy, wheat and beef.
