According to Reuters, Argentina’s pistachio production in San Juan province has quintupled in just five years to 25,000 acres, positioning it as the nation’s pistachio capital with unmatched growth potential. President Javier Milei’s ongoing reductions in export taxes—now permanently lowered for key agribusiness products—unlock unprecedented profitability for pistachio farming investments. At BBI Argentina, we specialize in sourcing high-return agribusiness opportunities like these, from vineyards to emerging nut crops, and invite international investors to partner with us for turnkey pistachio projects.
Explosive Growth in San Juan Pistachio Farming
Pistachio acreage in San Juan surged from 1,000 hectares in 2013 to 7,500–8,500 hectares today, representing 90% of Argentina’s total. Nurseries like Pisté have doubled production to 400,000 plants annually since 2023, signaling robust expansion as global demand drives prices to $23/kg. San Juan’s arid climate, cold winters, and hot summers make it ideal, with drip irrigation optimizing water use amid regional challenges.
Massive Projected Expansion
Studies identify 65,000 sq km (16 million acres) across San Juan, Mendoza, La Pampa, and San Luis as prime for pistachio orchards, far exceeding current plantings. Yields reach 2,800–3,000 kg/hectare on mature trees after 7 years, with companies like SolFrut investing $12,000/acre on converted land for superior returns. Industry leaders forecast pistachio as San Juan’s economic powerhouse, third behind vineyards and olives, with exports targeting Italy, Russia, and emerging China markets.
Milei’s Export Tax Cuts Boost Investor Returns
President Milei has slashed export duties permanently. These reforms enhance net margins for export-oriented pistachio farming, attracting foreign capital amid stabilizing macro conditions and lower interest rates. Pistachios qualify under investor-friendly policies, including 100% foreign ownership and CBI pathways via productive assets.
