This Monday, the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, reported that Argentine agro-industrial exports reached a historic record during the first seven months of 2026.
The result reflects a strong growth both in the volume of products sent abroad and in the value generated by international sales, thanks to the reforms driven by the Government of Javier Milei.
Through a message published on X, Caputo highlighted that between January and July, agro-industrial exports reached 74.3 million tons, representing an increase of 13% compared to the same period in 2025 and constituting a historic record for those first seven months of the year.

Export Destinations
The export record was also accompanied by a widespread international presence. According to data released by the Minister of Economy, Argentine agro-industrial exports reached 133 destinations during the first seven months of the year.
Among the main markets are India, where sales of soybean and sunflower oil stood out; China, with beef, soybean products, and fish; and Brazil, destination for wheat, dairy, and heavy vegetables.
Vietnam also stood out for its purchases of corn, wheat, and soybean products; the United States, with demand for beef, honey, and wine products; Saudi Arabia, with corn, soybeans, and barley; Indonesia, with soybeans, wheat, and corn; and Malaysia, with corn, soybeans, and sunflower.
The result thus shows the magnitude achieved by the Argentine agro-industrial complex during 2026, driven by the reforms of Milei's Government.
With more tons exported, higher revenues, and presence in 133 markets, the sector recorded a record level of exports during the first seven months of the year and consolidated a strong expansion compared to the same period in 2025.
