Agriculture once again saved the potatoes: exports grew by 17.5% and contributed more than US$ 22,000 M

The Argentine agricultural industry showed strong growth in exports during the first five months of 2026, reaching USD 22.394 billion, a 17.5% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by increased production rather than higher international prices, according to economist Juan Manuel Garzón. While overall performance was positive, there were significant variations among different products and regions. Some crops like wheat, sunflower, sorghum, and corn saw substantial volume increases, while others experienced mixed results. The report highlights that factors such as improved harvests and shifts toward higher-value products contributed to the growth in specific sectors.
