SPOTLIGHT ON: ARGENTINA
Argentina is one of the powerhouses of South America and is its second largest economy. There are over 100 UK
companies already operating in Argentina, including BT, GSK, HSBC and Unilever, which are complimented by a range of UK SMEs. Argentina grew at an average
rate of 4.6% between 2004 and 2014. Since then, growth has slowed, mainly caused both by domestic as well as international issues. The downturn in the Brazilian economy is a huge factor as Brazil is Argentina’s largest export destination. Despite these challenges,

Argentina has a natural resource base with high growth potential which means there are opportunities that exist in this market for East Midlands businesses. The country is a top five world producer of agricultural commodities such as soya and maize and has large deposits of shale gas and oil along with under exploited reserves of lithium, copper, gold and silver. Away from its natural recourses, Argentina is the leading market in South America for creative industries and IT, and also has the second strongest industrial sector in the region. The workforce here has a high level of professional skills and a good level of English in business
Buenos Aires, the capital and largest city in Argentina
along with a European style business culture. In terms of the education sector,
Argentina has the highest English language proficiency in Latin America. English is mandatory at state schools in the city of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires, with many private bilingual schools which attract many middle class students. Opportunities therefore exist in the supply of educational software, English Language Teaching (ELT) products and joint ventures with local institutions for corporate and higher education programmes. Argentina is one of the greatest
food producing and food exporting countries of the world. It has 36 million hectares of arable and permanent cropland and agriculture production and the food and drink industry make up 16% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Up to 95% of Argentina’s export earnings are traditionally gained from agriculture and farming. This booming sector therefore requires partners offering technological innovation, such as farming process technology, precision agriculture and dairy industry improvements, as well as quality standards and food security technology. Argentina is the second largest
market in Latin America for medical devices. However, only 25% of the equipment is manufactured locally.
