Earlier Report Observations

In-shell almond production in Argentina remained stable between 2018 and 2023, fluctuating between 680 and 691 tons annually. This stability was underpinned by concentrated cultivation in regions like Mendoza, where plans were reported in 2018 to expand planted area by 400 hectares every two years from a base of 2 311 hectares.

Market volume showed more variation due to shifts in imports, which fell to zero in 2019 before partial recovery. During this period, export initiatives gained attention, with coordinated efforts among producers from Neuquén, Río Negro, and La Pampa in 2019-2020 to access European markets, supported by the Centro PyME-ADENEU.

By 2024, the sector saw the first large-scale mechanized harvesting of in-shell almonds in Neuquén, aiming to improve efficiency for export. The opening of the Brazilian market for in-shell almond exports and growing global demand presented new opportunities, while domestic product offerings expanded, reflecting consumer preference shifts toward healthy snacks.
