Abstract
Argentina is located between 22° and 55° latitude South and between 54° and 73° longitude West, and includes 2.7 million km2 of continental area. The country has great production potential in agriculture, cattle, and forestry. In the years 1989–1999 national grain production attained an average of 47.6 million tonnes (Mt) with a minimum of 34.6 Mt and a maximum of 66.1 Mt. Agricultural products are important contributors to country exports, about 60% of wheat and maize grain production and approximately 85% of oilseed (soybean and sunflower) products are destined to foreign markets.
