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.

The word cereal derives from Ceres, the name of the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture. The first cereal grains were domesticated by early primitive humans. About 8,000 years ago, they were domesticated by ancient farming communities in the Fertile Crescent region. 

Wholegrain cereals are a rich source of many essential vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.  Cereals and wholegrain foods can reduce the risk of developing certain diseases including coronary heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes and diverticular disease. Common cereal foods include bread, breakfast cereals and pasta. The two main types of commercial grain crops are cereals such as wheat and rye, and legumes such as beans and soybeans. 

Grains include wheat, barley, oat, rye, corn, rice, millet and triticale. Wholegrains include wholemeal or wholegrain breads or crispbreads, dark 'seedy' breads, wholegrain breakfast cereals, wheatgerm, brown rice, puffed whole grains, bulgur, quinoa, couscous, popcorn and oatmeal. Export Portal offers you all types of grains, wholegrains and cereals to buy or sell in any country! 

Grain legumes or pulses are members of the pea family and include lentil, chickpeas, common beans, common peas, fava beans, lima beans, lupins, mung beans, peanuts, pigeon peas, runner beans and soybeans. All of them are very nutritious and have numerous health benefits.

There are also oilseeds - these are grains grown primarily for the extraction of their edible oil. Vegetable oils provide dietary energy and some essential fatty acids. They can be used as fuel or lubricants.

You have to keep in mind that cereal grains are now divided into 2 subgroups: 

  1. Whole Grains
  2. Refined Grains

Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel - the bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples of whole grains include whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked wheat), oatmeal, whole cornmeal, and brown rice. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Some examples of refined grain products are white flour, de-germed cornmeal, white bread, and white rice.

When grains are refined, the bran and germ layers are generally removed, leaving only the endosperm. This process can cause significant losses of fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals from the grains. Some fibre, vitamins and minerals may be added back into refined cereal products (such as white bread), which compensates for losses, but it is impossible to add the mix of phytochemicals that is lost in the processing.
