Argentina Ranks Among Top Five Global Exporters in 26 Farm Products
10 November 2026, Buenos Aires, AR: Argentina’s Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, part of the national Ministry of Economy, reported that 52 Argentine agro-industrial products ranked among the world’s top 20 exporters in 2025, based on United Nations trade database figures covering more than 35 value chains. Of those 52 products, 26 placed among the top five exporters globally, according to the official report released this week.
Among the products the secretariat identified at the top of global rankings are soybeans, peanuts, and essential oil and juice extracted from lemons. Yerba mate moved up from second to first place among global exporters, while sunflower-based products also advanced several positions in the rankings. A separate group of products, including maize, sorghum, dry beans, garlic, dried plums, grape must, frozen hake and soybeans sold whole, ranked third globally. The secretariat listed a further set of products inside the global top ten without specifying individual rankings, among them beef, wine, honey, pears, horse meat, greasy wool, peach preparations, orange juice, olive oil, wheat, chickpeas, tea, olives, raisins and alfalfa.
The government attributed the results to a combination of policy changes over the past two years, including the elimination or reduction of export duties on a range of crops, simplified export procedures, the removal of what it described as unnecessary regulations, and the opening of more than 600 export markets for Argentine agricultural goods. The secretariat published the figures alongside an interactive dashboard breaking down export volumes and destination markets by product.
Argentina’s grain and oilseed sector has been a repeated focus of the current government’s trade policy, with export tax reductions on soybeans, corn and wheat introduced over the past year as part of a broader push to keep farm export revenue flowing into the country. The secretariat’s report did not include export volume or value figures in US dollars alongside the ranking data, framing the release instead around the number of product lines placing in the global top five and top 20.
