Export from Argentina

In Argentina exports have been the source of economic growth. The country is considered to be one of the greatest food-producing and food-exporting nations of the world. Agriculture and animal husbandry have traditionally supplied the country with 70–95% of its export earnings. Agricultural products accounted for 41% of exports by value.

Wheat is the leading crop. During the 90’s the country was the world's fifth-leading wheat exporter.

The province of Mendoza is the center for Argentina’s vineyards. The country is one of the world's leading wine producers.

Growth in international trade has been one of the key factors driving the Argentine economy. Another effort made by the country to attract foreign trade is the establishment of free trade zones. There are 3 large zones and a number of minor areas. The largest of these is the La Plata Free Trade Zone.

As it has been already mentioned above, Argentina exports mainly agricultural products. For instance, cereals, beef and related products, dairy products as well as fats and oils make up 36 percent of total exports. Other exports include: motor vehicles and parts, chemicals, crude oil and fuels and base metals and glassware. Argentina’s main export partners are: Brazil (21 percent of total exports), China, Chile, United States and Spain. Others include: Netherlands, Uruguay, Italy and Venezuela.

Import to Argentina

Argentina is the one of the major exporter of agricultural products, holding the third place in soy exports. The manufacturing exports have been boosted by car exports to Brazil. And what about the imports? The top 5 import products of the country are motor vehicles, petroleum gas, auto parts, refined petroleum and telephones. The country's large scale imports also include: computers, broadcasting accessories, iron ore and pesticides.

Argentina's main trading partners are Brazil and China for both imports and exports. The country imports heavily from the US, Germany, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Bolivia, France, Italy and Japan.

Imports of luxury cars have caused trade imbalances in the country in the last few years. This forced the government to restrict them. In 2011, car importers were required to provide an export of equal value, forcing many companies to get into new industries such as processed rice and soy flour. In 2014 further restrictions were placed on the import of vehicles by the government. Auto manufacturers who build a model of car in Argentina, such as Toyota, are exempt from these restrictions.
