  • Is sunflower a export oriented business in Argentina?
  • In Argentina, sunflower is an export-oriented business; sunflower products are primarily shipped as oil and flour, and to a lesser extent seed is also exported. Given that 60% of the oil produced is exported in a normal season and that flour has a low relative value, over 80% of sunflower value is explained by the international value of its oil.
  • How much sunflower is produced in Argentina?
  • Argentina¡¯s total sunflower production in grain, meal, and oil has been around 10% of global sunflower production for the business years 2010 to 2013. In spite of a strong domestic consumption (12.3 liters/inhabitant), global trade fluctuates around 14% in meal, 16.2% in oil, and a low 4.4% in untransformed sunflower seed ( USDA, 2013 ).
  • Does Argentina produce corn & soybean seeds in the off-season?
  • Due to Argentina¡¯s position in the Southern Hemisphere, off-season (or counter-seasonal) production of corn and soybean seed has generated positive returns in the last few years. Argentina¡¯s total exports of planting seeds for 2022 totaled $47 million, while the country¡¯s total exports of planting seeds for 2020 totaled $22 million.
  • Which seed companies are based in Argentina?
  • Nowadays, several seed companies, such as ACA, Advanta Semillas, Argenetics, Dow AgroSciences, KWS, Limagrain, Nidera, Nuseed, Pannar, Pioneer, Sursem, Syngenta, and Tecnoseeds, among others, have very important breeding programs in Argentina. In fact, they provide commercial hybrid seed to producers.
  • Why is sunflower oil so popular in Argentina?
  • This is due to the fact that a high level of stocks remained available for processing during the current year because of the low volume industrialized during the previous crop. Argentina is a major player in the world market of sunflower oil, positioning itself as the 4th biggest producer and the 4th main exporter.
  • Is sunflower a good crop for agribusiness in Argentina?
  • Although sunflower in Argentina has been giving way to other crops, sunflower complex remains one of the leaders in agribusiness exports. Besides, the first forecasts for crop season 2021/22 show a higher optimis. During the last few years, sunflower has remained one of the main grains produced in the country.
