As one of the world’s leading producers of agricultural commodities, Argentina will continue to offer opportunities for U.S. suppliers of parts for agricultural machinery and some specialty equipment for selected crops during the next several years. Demand for agricultural equipment to improve the quality and yield of crops, while reducing costs continues to be in high demand. Because farms are generally large, they are ideally suited to incorporate a wide range of American agricultural machinery and technology. Market Overview Demand for higher quality imported parts, components and specialized accessories should grow as the level of sophistication by local manufacturers increases. Joint ventures with domestic manufacturers and licensing could also be an option for some U.S. exporters interested in pursuing business opportunities in Argentina. Specific products include: specialty crop harvesting equipment (grapes, sugar, apples and pears, potato, olives, stone fruits, citrus, etc.), equipment for precision agriculture, global positioning systems, devices to measure harvested outputs, advanced turbine sprayers and associated pumps, and critical parts for general agricultural machinery such as transmissions, electronics, etc. Demand for parts should grow in line with increased utilization of aging machinery. The average age of tractors and harvesters is eight years.
