Argentina Global Trade Core Summary
Argentina's exports are heavily resource-driven, with cereals (11.1%), mineral fuels (11.1%), and animal/vegetable fats (8%) leading the top categories. A significant 28.2% share falls under an unspecified HS code (99), suggesting potential unclassified or mixed shipments. Agriculture and energy dominate, while manufactured goods like vehicles (6.7%) and precious stones/metals (3.5%) play smaller roles. Imports, however, skew toward industrial goods: vehicles (20.2%), machinery (15%), and electrical equipment (9.9%) are top purchases, alongside smaller shares of fuels (5.3%) and pharmaceuticals (4.2%).
Key Takeaways:
- Exports rely on raw materials (crops, fuels, animal products).
- Imports focus on machinery, vehicles, and technology.
- Unclassified exports (HS 99) warrant deeper investigation.
- Limited high-value manufacturing in exports signals dependency on basic goods.
Argentina Export-Import Structural Gap
Argentina’s trade shows a clear divide: it exports farm and energy products but imports machinery and industrial goods. This suggests an economy strong in primary sectors but dependent on foreign manufacturing. Overlap in fuels (HS 27) and oil seeds (HS 12) hints at some processing trade, but the gap in finished goods (e.g., vehicles exported at 6.7% vs. imported at 20.2%) highlights missed value-addition opportunities. Upgrading agro-industrial chains could reduce reliance on imported equipment. The structural imbalance points to untapped potential in local production diversification.

Argentina Global Trade Key Patterns
Argentina's exports show moderate diversification, with the top 10 destinations accounting for 62.78% of total exports. Brazil (14.81%), Mainland China (11.88%), and the United States (9.53%) are the largest markets, reflecting strong regional (Latin America) and global (Asia, North America) demand. Imports are more concentrated, with Brazil (26.45%) and Mainland China (20.17) dominating nearly half of total imports. The US (9.48%) and Paraguay (5.21%) follow, indicating reliance on key suppliers. Key asymmetries include:
- Exports are more evenly distributed than imports.
- Brazil and China are critical for both trade flows.
- Latin America is a major export hub, while imports are more globally sourced.
Argentina Export–Import Geographic Gap
Exports reach a mix of regional (Brazil, Chile, Peru) and distant markets (US, China, India), while imports heavily depend on Brazil and China. This suggests upstream dependency on a few suppliers but downstream diversification. Overlapping trade partners (Brazil, China, US, Vietnam) indicate processing trade or bilateral exchange. The structure points to reliance on key import sources but broader export opportunities. Trade remains regionally anchored but with global linkages.
