Argentina Food and Beverage Sector Report 2019/2020

Argentina is recognised worldwide as one of the major producers and exporters of food and beverages, ranking among the ten biggest producers of vegetable oils, soybean by-products, pasta and wine on a global scale. The food and beverage sector plays a key role in the Argentine economy, accounting for 3.8% of GDP, 5.8% of formal employment and 27.5% of national exports in 2018. The economic recession since the second quarter of 2018, accompanied by a depreciating national currency, stubbornly high inflation, rising borrowing costs, a deteriorating labour market and fading consumer confidence, has pushed down domestic demand for essential goods, including food and beverages. This context has pushed a growing number of companies to embrace an export-led growth strategy on the back of the improving price competitiveness of their products.
