  • Green pea output set to reach 264,000 tons — up 48% year-on-year and 108% above the five-year average.
  • Acreage expanded sharply despite a wet season that lowered yields and raised disease pressures.
  • China’s 100% tariff on Canadian peas remains the major wildcard shaping Argentina’s export opportunities.

Argentina is poised to deliver its largest green pea crop on record this December, with production estimated at 264,000 tons, according to market-based assessments shared by Adrian Poletti, Executive Director at Adrian Poletti & Asociados and a leading analyst of Argentina’s pulse sector. 

While official figures are yet to be released, the estimates point to a 48% increase compared to last year and a staggering 108% rise above the five-year average (2020–2024).

This dramatic jump marks the most significant green pea harvest since GPC began tracking Argentina’s production in 2017. But the story behind this expansion is a mix of agronomic challenges, commercial advantages, and shifting global trade dynamics—particularly the ongoing disruption caused by China’s 100% tariff on Canadian peas.
