Pioneering Sweet Potato Farming Project in Argentina
From the heart of San Antonio de Areco, our innovative sweet potato farming venture has transformed the agricultural landscape over the past four years. We proudly supply high-quality, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes to the European fresh market from May to December, supported by significant investment in state-of-the-art packing and storage facilities.
Buenos Aires stands out globally
Compared to other sweet potato-producing regions, Buenos Aires offers distinct advantages:
Less chemical input
Buenos Aires’ fertile soils and naturally harsh winters help control pests, reducing the need for chemical treatments. Unlike other regions that must overhaul their chemical inputs every 2–3 years, Argentina’s stable environment requires updates only once a decade—cutting costs and improving efficiency per unit of output.
Need of less water
The region benefits from abundant natural rainfall, which reduces the need for artificial irrigation. This not only conserves valuable water resources but also reduces energy consumption associated with pumping and distribution. As a result, farming operations are both more sustainable and more cost-efficient, supporting long-term environmental and economic resilience.
Soil health firts
In Buenos Aires, sweet potato cultivation enriches the soil by boosting organic matter and improving structure. This strengthens aeration, water retention, and resilience, supporting long-term soil health and sustainable productivity.
A wave of prosperity through sustainable agriculture
By replacing traditional crops like soy and maize with sweet potatoes, our project has revitalized once-barren fields, creating jobs and restoring livelihoods in San Antonio de Areco. Sweet potatoes require fewer chemical inputs than conventional crops, with weed control often done by hand, enhancing soil health and reducing reliance on pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. This approach not only lowers input costs but also promotes biodiversity through crop rotation with traditional crops, improving soil fertility and structure for better water retention and nutrient cycling.
Exclusive varieties:
We hold exclusive licenses for premium orange-fleshed and white flesh Sweetpotatoes varieties from Louisiana State University, renowned for their quality and flavour.
Global market reach:
Successfully delivering containers to the UK and European markets, establishing a reliable supply chain.
Sustainable practices:
Our cultivation methods conserve energy and water, reduce pesticide use, and promote annual soil regeneration, ensuring long-term environmental sustainability.
Ideal environment
Buenos Aires’ fertile Pampas soils, natural rainfall patterns, and robust crop rotation practices create an optimal setting for sweet potato production, eliminating the need for irrigation.
