Over the 2012-2017 period, the gross value added (GVA) of the food and beverage manufacturing industry expanded at a slow CAGR of 0.2%. The industry was negatively affected by sluggish overall economic activity, stubbornly high inflation and the depreciation of the Argentine peso against the US dollar, which raised production costs, and, at the same time, reduced households’ disposable incomes. However, the sector – being focused on the production of essential goods – outperformed manufacturing industry as a whole, whose GVA contracted at an annual average rate of 1.1% over the same period.
