Argentine Agriculture

Argentina is one of the world's major exporters of soybeans

and wheat, as well as meat. It is also one of the largest producers of
wool and wine, but most of its wine is consumed domestically.
Although agriculture is an important source of export earnings, it now
accounts for a small percentage of the overall GDP, and it employs
only a tiny portion of the nation's workforce.
Wheat is Argentina's largest crop in harvested land area, and it
is the main crop in the cattle-raising southern Pampas of Buenos Aires
and La Pampa provinces. Wheat and corn (maize) dominate in the
north. Planting of corn and wheat began simultaneously in the
northern Pampas. By the end of World War II, however, foreign competition and industry had cut Argentine corn
production in half, and production has increased only gradually since then. About half of the corn produced is
used for livestock feed.
The total area of the Pampas planted in sorghum and soybeans has grown since 1960 to rank just behind
that of wheat and corn. These crops also serve primarily as livestock feed and are valuable for export. Another
crop of the northern Pampas is flax.
