Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2023, Argentina's production of fresh or chilled peas experienced consistent annual growth, expanding from 28 947 t to 29 844 t. The market volume increased by roughly 900 t over the period, reflecting a stable upward trend.
This growth was underpinned by regulatory improvements and shifting consumer habits. In 2023, Senasa introduced updated rules for fresh vegetable production, packaging, and transport, enhancing quality standards and traceability. At the same time, health-conscious consumers increasingly sought fresh, local produce, a trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic's focus on food sovereignty. Government support, including a 5 000 million peso aid fund for farmers facing difficult weather, helped maintain production levels.
The pea market also saw innovation, with Ingredion launching a pea protein isolate in South America in 2024, signaling investment in value-added segments. Advances in sustainable packaging and preservation technologies improved product shelf life and appeal. While global demand for plant-based proteins and regional logistics upgrades created favorable conditions, domestic consumption remained anchored by local production and Km 0 initiatives.
