Argentina

The government’s erratic policies – both in international financial markets and at home – create immense uncertainty.

Consumers in Argentina experienced a decline in purchasing power resulting in a change in shopping habits, with consumers favoring nearby stores at the expense of hypermarkets and supermarkets.

Fruit and vegetable exports destinations are Russia, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Grapes, lemons, apples and pears are the most important fruit harvests. Vegetables- mainly potatoes, onions and tomatoes - are cultivated for the domestic market.
