Agricultural and climatic trends in Uruguay and Argentina

Overview

Agricultural conditions in Uruguay and Argentina are being shaped by structural, climatic, and seasonal factors. In Uruguay, land ownership has become increasingly concentrated, with reports indicating that 20% of holdings control 80% of the land, contributing to a 39% decrease in total rural holdings since 1980.

Climatic shifts are also impacting production. In Argentina, expanding polar air masses have caused frosts to reach new northern latitudes, a trend attributed to climate change and the El Niño phenomenon.

As the spring season arrives, market dynamics are shifting. Uruguay is experiencing an abundant supply of leafy vegetables, leading to lower prices for items such as lettuce and spinach. Meanwhile, in Argentina’s La Plata horticultural belt, producers are transitioning from winter crops like broccoli to spring varieties including tomatoes, zucchini, and corn.
