In the first two months of the year, shipments abroad reached almost 7 million kilos. Domestic consumption also grew, but the increase was more moderate.
In February 20,155,532 kilos were sold to Argentine materos; while another 2,902,116 kilos left for other markets. The year started with a 22% increase in exports. On the producers' side, there was a strong increase in the summer harvest compared to the previous three years, which were conditioned by the intense drought that affected the producing region.
