Argentina is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cereals and oilseeds and it is also among the ten biggest beef and poultry meat producers on a global scale. The agriculture sector has a key socio-economic role for Argentina, accounting for 5.6% of the GDP, 5.4% of the formal employment and 29.3% of the national exports in 2017. Yet, during the year the sector’s exports fell by 0.8% y/y, due to lower external sales of oilseeds. The removal of export tariffs and quotas on key agricultural products in 2015 triggered a much needed restructuring process in the crop industry towards production of cereals at the expense of soybean. Despite the negative short-term effect on exports, this process will support the product diversification of the crop industry and reduce the high dependence of the country on soybean exports.

Commercial seeds include crops that are sown for production of an intended crop or used as animal feed or industrial raw material. Commercial seeds yield higher output, the declining global arable land due to rapid urbanization acts as a driver for the demand of commercial seeds. The conventional seeds include corn, soybean, vegetable, cereals, cotton, rice and canola.
