Argentina is one of the leading pea producers in Latin America, excelling in the cultivation of this valuable legume crop in regions such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Santa Fe. With an annual sown area ranging between 100,000 and 150,000 hectares, Argentine peas are not only key to diversifying crops in the region but also play a crucial role in soil rotation, improving land quality and fertility. This legume adapts well to temperate and humid climates, making it especially relevant for the production of dry peas.

On the international market, Argentina is a significant player in pea exports, annually shipping between 30,000 and 40,000 tons to various global destinations. Brazil is its main buyer, accounting for over 40% of exports, followed by countries such as Chile, the United States, and several European nations, particularly Spain and France. This international market has experienced steady growth in recent years, driven by increasing demand for plant-based proteins and gluten-free products, creating new business opportunities for exporters and producers.

Domestically, pea consumption is also well-established, primarily in processed forms such as frozen peas, canned peas, or as an ingredient in food products. The local market consumes between 10,000 and 15,000 tons annually, reflecting the product’s potential in the food and canning sectors. However, the greatest opportunity remains in the export market, with an annual value of approximately 25 million USD, making Argentine peas an excellent option for companies looking to diversify their product portfolios and expand their commercial horizons.
