Argentina Agriculture Sector Report 2018/2019

Argentina is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cereals and oilseeds and it is also among the ten biggest beef and poultry meat producers on a global scale. The agriculture sector has a key socio-economic role for Argentina, accounting for 5.6% of the GDP, 5.4% of the formal employment and 29.3% of the national exports in 2017. Yet, during the year the sector’s exports fell by 0.8% y/y, due to lower external sales of oilseeds. The removal of export tariffs and quotas on key agricultural products in 2015 triggered a much needed restructuring process in the crop industry towards production of cereals at the expense of soybean. Despite the negative short-term effect on exports, this process will support the product diversification of the crop industry and reduce the high dependence of the country on soybean exports.
