Earlier Report Observations

Cassava production in Argentina showed consistent growth from 2018 to 2023, starting at 195 thousand tonnes and reaching 203 thousand tonnes. This period began with regulatory developments that structured the agricultural market, including the creation of the National Directorate of Agricultural Commercial Control to oversee the sector and Mercosur resolutions harmonizing consumer protection rules for food products, which provided a stable framework for commercialization.

The upward trend continued through 2021 and 2022, with output surpassing 200 thousand tonnes. A significant driver was the 2022 implementation of the Healthy Food Promotion Law, which introduced front-of-pack black warning labels for processed foods. This regulation, alongside rising consumer interest in organic and healthy options, stimulated demand for cassava, particularly in frozen and processed forms. Concurrently, the global expansion of the modified cassava starch market and increased demand for cassava-based starches opened new avenues for processing within Argentina.

Production further increased to 203 thousand tonnes in 2023. Regulatory adjustments to the front-of-pack labeling system continued, while government promotion of organic production for regional economies supported crop diversification. Technological advancements in cassava processing for use in food, textiles, and bioplastics indicate a broadening market beyond fresh consumption, pointing to sustained industrial demand.
