Province by province, from north to south

Jujuy · Jujuy has two complementary economies. In the Puna, lithium, silver and the sun: two lithium carbonate operations in production and the Cauchari Solar Park.

Salta · Salta's economy combines the mining Puna —lithium, borates and gold— with the farmland of the valleys and plains: Virginia tobacco, pulses, cereals, sugarcane and high-altitude wines.

Formosa · Formosa's economy rests on cattle breeding, which covers much of the territory, and on agriculture in the east: rice, corn, grapefruit and bananas.

Tucumán · Tucumán is the agro-industrial heart of the Northwest. Sugarcane, with its mills and bioethanol distilleries, and lemons, from which concentrated juice, essential oil and dehydrated peel are made for the world, are its two great value chains, together with strawberries, blueberries and avocados.

Misiones · Misiones is the province of infusions: it produces almost all of the country's yerba mate and tea.

Chaco · The Chaco is cotton country, the white gold that forged its history, and today it combines it with soybeans, corn, sunflower and a cattle herd of more than two million head.

Corrientes · The economy of Corrientes combines rice, of which it is the country's leading producer, with one of the largest cattle herds in Argentina, pine and eucalyptus plantations, the citrus of Bella Vista and Monte Caseros, and the yerba mate and tea of the provincial northeast.

Santiago del Estero · In recent decades Santiago del Estero has experienced a strong agricultural expansion: soybeans, corn and cotton, of which it is today the leading province by sown area.

Catamarca · Catamarca is today a mining province: lithium from the Salar del Hombre Muerto and Fiambalá leads its exports, together with gold and silver.

La Rioja · La Rioja is a land of olive trees, vineyards and walnut groves. Olive oil and olives lead its exports, winemaking places it as the country's third province, and tourism in Talampaya and the Famatina grows year after year.

Córdoba · Córdoba is the country's third exporting province and an agro-industrial engine: soybeans, corn, wheat and peanuts on the plains, a great dairy basin, cattle and the food industry.

San Juan · San Juan combines two engines. Metal mining —gold and silver today, world-scale copper on the way— leads its exports.

Santa Fe · Santa Fe is the country's second exporting province and the heart of Argentina's oilseed complex: soybeans, corn and wheat are turned into meal and oil at the plants of Greater Rosario and go out to the world along the Paraná.

Entre Ríos · Entre Ríos is the country's leading poultry province and an agri-food powerhouse: cereals and oilseeds, rice, citrus from the Uruguay River, cattle, honey and pecans, of which it is the national leader.

Mendoza · Mendoza is the capital of Argentine wine and has the largest fruit-growing area in the country.

San Luis · San Luis combines a strong industrial profile, born of the industrial promotion of the 1980s and 1990s, with expanding agriculture —corn and soybeans on the plains of the east and south— and cattle breeding and fattening.

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires · The City is the country's main services center: finance, trade, tourism, health, education and the knowledge economy —software, professional services, creative industries, film and publishing— account for its activity.

Buenos Aires · Buenos Aires is the country's leading exporting province, with more than a third of the national total.

La Pampa · La Pampa lives from the land: cereals and oilseeds in the east, cattle breeding and fattening that supplies export meatpackers, and honey as a traditional product.

Neuquén · Neuquén is today Argentina's energy engine: Vaca Muerta made it the country's leading oil and gas producer.

Río Negro · Río Negro's economy combines fruit growing in the Alto Valle, mountain tourism, sheep and cattle farming, fishing in the San Matías Gulf and oil, which is growing with Vaca Muerta.

Chubut · Chubut is an energy, industrial and fishing province: oil from the San Jorge Gulf, aluminum from Puerto Madryn, shrimp and hake fishing, merino wool from the plateau and one of the largest wind power developments in the country.

Santa Cruz · Santa Cruz is the great province of gold and silver: metal mining accounts for more than two thirds of its exports.

Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands · The Fuegian economy combines international tourism, oil and gas, fishing in southern waters, sheep farming on its estancias and the electronics industry of Río Grande and Ushuaia, born of the 1972 promotion regime.
