Major Industries and Exports



Argentina’s major industry is manufacturing, which currently makes up 19% of its GDP. Food processing, motor parts, biodiesel, and industrial machinery lead the sectors by production value. Currently, half of the nation’s industrial exports are agricultural in nature, due to the country’s fertile soil and perennially mild weather. Argentina continues to hold the title of the largest producer and consumer of natural gas in South America. Despite attempts in hydroelectricity and solar power, the country continues to heavily rely on petroleum oil and electric power.


Argentina is a major exporter of wheat and grain.
