With a 40% idle capacity and 12 million tons of wheat without grinding, millers see in the current context a key opportunity to add value and expand exports of flour to the world.
The potential of the Argentine milling industry
Argentina produces three times more wheat than is processed: of the 18 million tons annually, only 6 million are destined for grinding, and less than 10% of that flour is exported.
This underutilization represents a unique opportunity in a sector with great potential for the development of regional economies and job creation.
He Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Córdoba, Marcos Blanda, He stated: “The SME milling industry must be strengthened to boost the economy. Córdoba, Santa Fe and Entre Ríos are working together with a shared vision. We can go out as a region to the world to internationalize mill products.”
Expectation for the new SME law
