Argentina Agricultural Market Analysis
The Argentina agriculture market is projected to register a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period.
- The cereals and grains are leading in agricultural production followed by oilseeds, cash crops, fruits, and vegetables. Argentina consists of a wheat crop of 21.8 million ton in 2021-22 followed by 19 million ton in 2019-20, which is a 21.9% higher national wheat average yield than the previous year. However, Argentina accounted supply and distribution of oilseeds to be 50.17 million metric ton followed by India and other countries.
- Argentina is a foremost producer of fruits and vegetables such as grapes, bananas, apples, limes and lemons, pears, and onions, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes. The domestic consumption of fresh oranges significantly increased to 10.3 million metric ton in 2021 due to high supply availability and projected demand during a pandemic.
- In 2021, The World Bank approved a USD 400 million loan to implement climate-smart, innovative practices to boost the productivity and competitiveness of agri-food system and green development through investments in climate-resilient infrastructure in Argentina. Finally, the project will seek to support institutional strengthening processes in the National Agricultural Technology Institute (INTA) to promote its leadership in innovation and climate resilience in the agri-food sector.
- Increasing adoption of genetically-modified seeds in Argentina's agriculture market leads to high crop production, thereby boost high adoption of loan facilities among small and marginal farmers and investments in export & import scenario. The high growth potential of agricultural exports is driving the growth of the market and Coffee and soy-based crops play a key role in the country's agriculture market which will drive the market during the coming years.

The government also hopes to encourage investment in these same sectors to encourage the domestic production and demand from the consumer related to health will drive the market during the forecast period.
The rapid adoption of new technologies such as, crop rotation, precision farming, new improved seeds with genetically-modified traits, and no-tillage farming is leading to an innovative farming practices by many large service providers to increase crop productivity in the forecast period.
Cereals and Grains is Leading Agriculture Market in Argentina
The high degree of adoption of crop diversification by the producers in cereals and grains is subsequently a key driver to manage risks and soil sustainability. Furthermore, the cereals like wheat, sorghum, corn, and barley comprise a higher degree of carbon fixation in the soil, thereby a high quantity of grasses with more vegetative coverage thus leads to reduce soil and wind erosion and provides resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. According to FAO, cereals production has increased by 87.69 million metric ton in 2021 which is a slightly increased compared to the previous year and raise the market in coming years.
Argentina is the primary South American producer and exporter of wheat, accounting for about 7% of global exports. Brazil is a prominent importer, mainly from Argentina (75%), followed by the United States (10%), and 15% from Paraguay, Russia, Uruguay, and Canada. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has caused wheat supply and food security concerns for many major wheat importers that depend on Black Sea supplies. In this case, South American producers may increase supply to African countries. Argentina already has increased exports to Africa.
Additionally, Argentina is researching on genetically engineered new wheat known as HB4 which can uses a gene taken from sunflowers. If successful, Argentina could keep its position as one of the world's top wheat exporters and might ease some agricultural concerns for the future which will drive the growth of the market in coming years. Right now, for example, China and countries in North America and Europe are at lower than usual levels of wheat production because of drought. Russia's war in Ukraine has also reduced the world's wheat supply.
The rise in silos areas for cereals and grains is also a key driver to enhancing quality of logistics services and minimizes post-harvest losses. Additionally, the silos minimizes risk of macroeconomic instability and shortage in credit among the farmers, thereby supports storage and transportation of the produce will raise the growth of the market in coming years.
