Argentina agro-industrial and fishing sector growth

Overview

Argentina has experienced significant growth in its agro-industrial and fishing sectors during 2026. In the first half of the year, food exports using the ‘Alimentos Argentinos’ seal rose 15% to USD 661 million. By July, the fishing industry saw a 300.2% year-on-year increase in its Industrial Production Index, and overall fishing exports grew over 23% to USD 1.677 billion between January and August. Agro-industrial exports for the January–August period reached a record of USD 37.525 billion, a 13% increase in value and a 10% increase in volume compared to the previous year.

Recent data highlights a surge in corn exports, which could reach a historic 3.9 million tons in October—a 67% increase over the historical average—driven by global supply constraints in the Black Sea and the United States. The sunflower sector is also expanding, with planting intentions rising to 3.1 million hectares. While the rice sector in Entre Ríos faces production declines, September saw agro-industrial exports reach new records of 11.43 million tons valued at USD 5,654 million, driven by barley and corn.

By late October, corn prices in the Rosario grain market reached $278,250 per ton, influenced by export demand and logistical hurdles including port congestion and truck shortages. Meanwhile, soybean markets showed renewed buyer interest. To support market access, Argentina has completed 60 international sanitary audits led by Senasa between December 2023 and October 2026, involving nations such as Chile and China, with further audits from the European Union, Japan, and South Korea anticipated.
