Argentina positioned itself as the world's largest peanut exporter during the last season, surpassing historic countries such as India and the United States. This achievement represents a 12% growth compared to 2023 and sets a record for the 2002-2024 period. The volume exported by Argentina accounts for 23% of the global total, showing the country's consolidation in the international market thanks to economic measures that stimulated the sector.
This sustained growth not only strengthens the national economy but also highlights the positive impact of current economic policies. The reduction of export duties favors the competitiveness and agricultural production of Argentina abroad.
Córdoba, productive and export epicenter that capitalizes on economic reforms
The province of Córdoba accounts for approximately 90% of the country's peanut production, also being the main planted area nationwide. In 2024, peanuts ranked as the fourth most exported product from the province, with the departments of Río Cuarto, General Roca, and Juárez Celman standing out.
More than 90% of exported Argentine peanuts originate from Córdoba. The Argentine Peanut Chamber emphasizes that local production is carried out under sustainable agricultural practices and with advanced technology. This productive dynamic also generates employment for around 12,000 people in 30 localities, representing a key regional social and economic benefit.
