# “We have to open markets to grow agro-industrial exports”

> CIARA-CEC president Gustavo Idígoras said Argentina’s cereal and oilseed complex produced more than 160 million tonnes in 2026, including a record 28 million tonnes of wheat and a sunflower crop of 6 million tonnes. Wheat shipments exceeded 17 million tonnes, and he said corn production could top 40 million tonnes as Argentina seeks to expand markets and add value to grain exports.
