Argentina’s agriculture sector's share in GDP fluctuated significantly from 1990 to 2022, reflecting the country’s economic volatility and reliance on agricultural exports. The share fell from 8.1% in 1990 to 4.5% by 1999, attributed to economic liberalization policies that opened up other sectors. However, in 2002, the share spiked to 10.2% as Argentina faced an economic crisis, leading to a pivot back to agricultural exports for revenue.
The agriculture sector saw fluctuations in subsequent years, peaking again in 2021 at 7.3% amid renewed economic challenges and increased global demand for agricultural goods. Argentina's reliance on soybeans, wheat, and corn exports continues to affect its GDP composition, with the agriculture sector’s role expanding during times of economic hardship.
