Argentina — South Atlantic seafood and agri-food
South Atlantic seafood, squid and frozen agri-food supply.
The market in brief
Argentina's South Atlantic shelf supports a distinctive frozen-trade basket: Illex squid caught by a specialized jigging fleet, wild red shrimp (langostino) from Patagonian waters, hake and other whitefish — plus frozen fruit and vegetable lines from the interior provinces.
The wild red shrimp story has made Argentina a fixture in European and Asian seafood programs, with Puerto Madryn and Mar del Plata as key processing centers. As a wild fishery, seasonality and quota dynamics shape availability, and program buyers plan accordingly.
For buyers, Argentina offers species with strong market identity; for Argentine exporters, the question is reaching serious counterparts efficiently. Our analysts work both directions — verified, consent-based, bilingual.
