Argentina agroindustrial exports rise 9.3% in 2025, exceeding $50.5 billion

Agroindustrial exports from Argentina reached $50.549 billion in 2025, up 9.3% year on year, according to a joint report by the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange and the Argentine Agroindustrial Council (CAA).

The increase was driven mainly by the soybean, meat, and wheat complexes, which offset declines recorded in segments such as corn, barley, and the olive oil complex. The expansion came despite an appreciation of the multilateral real exchange rate, which in December stood 6% below the average level seen in 2024, based on data from Argentina’s central bank.

The following chart tracks monthly shipment volumes for Argentine meat exports—including beef, pork, and poultry—from January 2022 to November 2025. This data was compiled and analyzed by Datamar’s Business Intelligence team.

In December alone, agroindustrial exports totaled $4.062 billion, $492 million more than in the same month a year earlier. The result reflected higher shipment volumes of soybeans, meat, and wheat, while average prices per tonne showed mixed behavior across the different complexes.

Soybeans remained Argentina’s leading agroindustrial export, generating $20.899 billion in revenue, equivalent to 41.3% of the sector’s total. Corn ranked second with $6.526 billion, despite closing the year with an 8% annual decline, weighed down by lower volumes and less favorable prices.

The beef and bovine leather complex posted one of the strongest performances, reaching $4.272 billion, a 27% increase compared with 2024. Wheat also delivered a solid result, with exports totaling $3.470 billion, up 34% year on year, driven primarily by higher shipment volumes despite a drop in the average price per tonne.

Among the segments showing the highest relative growth in 2025 were the sunflower and legume complexes, reinforcing the diversification of Argentina’s agroindustrial export basket.

The report underscores that movements in the real exchange rate remain a key factor for the sector’s external competitiveness. In December, the multilateral index fell 1% month on month, with losses against partners such as Brazil, China, and the United States compared with the annual average.

Looking ahead to 2026, the performance of agroindustrial exports is expected to depend on the trajectory of international prices, exchange rate dynamics, and domestic production conditions.
