Argentina Fertilizer - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 285 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Argentina Fertilizer Market size is estimated at 7.19 billion USD in 2025, and is expected to reach 9.71 billion USD by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.18% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
To improve crop productivity in order to meet the demand for various crops, the demand for fertilizers is growing
- Argentina's fertilizer consumption in 2022 was dominated by field crops, constituting 97.6% of the total. This translated to a consumption volume of 7.8 million metric tons, valued at USD 7.13 billion. With its diverse climate and soil profiles, Argentina stands as a prominent agricultural player in the region, fostering an ideal setting for cultivating a wide array of field crops.
- Horticultural crops emerged as the second-largest fertilizer consumer in Argentina in 2022, accounting for 2.3% of the total. This segment amounted to a value of USD 161.9 million, with a volume of 177.4 thousand metric tons. Despite a decline in horticultural cultivation area from 870.8 thousand hectares in 2017 to 831.1 thousand hectares in 2022, the demand for fertilizers surged. This uptick was propelled by the increasing appetite for high-value crops like fruits and vegetables, driven by concerns over hidden hunger and malnutrition. To optimize yields per hectare in horticultural agriculture, there is a growing impetus to intensify fertilizer application.
- Turf and ornamental crops, though a minor player, accounted for less than 1% of Argentina's fertilizer consumption in 2022. This segment's market value stood at USD 7.4 million, with 8.1 thousand metric tons of fertilizer utilized. The uptick in global demand for Argentinian flowers has played a role in bolstering fertilizer consumption in this sector.
- Looking ahead, the period 2023-2030 suggests a rising trend in fertilizer usage across different crop categories. This surge is fueled by the dual imperatives of meeting the food demands of a burgeoning global population and the drive for enhanced yields and crop productivity.
Argentina Fertilizer Market Trends
The considerable increase in cultivated land is foreseen to directly and favorably influence the Argentine fertilizer market
- Argentina's agricultural landscape encompasses a rich diversity of crops, with a primary focus on field crops. Notably, soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton are the prevailing field crops that dominate the country. In the year 2022, these field crops accounted for a substantial 97.8% of the total agricultural cultivation in Argentina. This focus on field crops underscores their pivotal role in the country's agricultural sector, signifying their prominence and significance in the nation's farming practices. The versatility and adaptability of these crops contribute to Argentina's prominent position as a global agricultural powerhouse.
- Among key crops, soybeans hold a dominant position, making Argentina one of the world's leading soybean producers and exporters. Maize, commonly known as corn, is another staple crop that is harvested the most. As of 2022, soybeans led in terms of cultivated land area, covering 44.3% of the total arable land, while corn followed closely behind with 22.8%. The primary regions for soybean cultivation are Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Santa Fe, and Santiago del Estero. For corn, the main planting regions include Cordoba, Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero, and Entre Rios. These regions play a pivotal role in the production of these essential crops in Argentina's agricultural landscape.
- The substantial rise in both local and global demand for field crops has spurred a noteworthy expansion in the acreage allocated to these crops. This considerable increase in cultivated land is foreseen to directly and favorably influence the Argentine fertilizer market. This expansion in crop cultivation has generated increased fertilizer demand, presenting more growth opportunities for the fertilizer industry in Argentina.
Rapeseed/canola, cotton, corn, and sorghum are some of the major primary nutrient-consuming crops in the country
- The average nutrient application rate can vary widely depending on factors such as the specific crop, soil conditions, regional practices, and mechanization used in agriculture. In the country, the average primary nutrient application rate for field crops is about 168.2 kg/hectare. Field crops such as rapeseed/canola, cotton, corn, and sorghum are some of the major primary nutrient-consuming crops in the country. Among all the primary nutrients, nitrogen is applied in the highest quantity, which is 193.1 kg/hectare on average for field crops. Nitrogen deficiency, however, is one of the most prevalent crop nutrient problems across the country. Hence, most of the nitrogen supplemented is through soil application so that when applied to soil, nitrogen is converted to mineral form.
- Potassium is the second-highest applied primary nutrient to field crops, with 181.2 kg/hectare on average. Potassium is a crucial nutrient for crop growth in Argentina, particularly for field crops like soybeans, maize (corn), wheat, and sunflowers. Its significance lies in its multiple roles in plant development and overall health. Firstly, potassium plays a vital part in osmotic regulation, helping plants maintain proper water uptake and transport, which ensures healthy cell turgor pressure. Secondly, it contributes to stress tolerance, enabling crops to withstand challenging conditions like drought, salinity, and temperature fluctuations.
- Phosphorus is a vital nutrient for plant growth, and its average application rate in fertilizers can vary depending on factors like soil conditions, crop type, and regional practices. Typically, phosphorus is applied at 130.1 kilograms of phosphorus per hectare (kg/ha) or more. Phosphorus serves several essential functions in plant development.
