Argentina: Raisin Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Argentina’s raisin production is forecast to remain stable in CY 2021 at 44,000 metric tons (MT) due to favorable weather conditions. Exports are forecast at 38,000 MT. Local exporters struggle to remain competitive in export markets due to various economic factors, such as high inflation and unstable exchange rates. The coronavirus pandemic created a slight increase in domestic consumption, as Argentinians prepared more at-home foods due to a strict and lengthy lockdown. Carry over stocks will be higher as commercialization was reduced during quarantine.
