Farming in Argentina
Argentina's grain and oilseed production is concentrated in the Pampas, across Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and La Pampa provinces. Soybean and maize are sown in spring and wheat in autumn and winter, and many fields carry two crops in a year. Sunflower is important in the south of Buenos Aires and La Pampa, and no-till farming is widespread.
North of the Pampas, the Chaco region grows soybean, cotton and sorghum, while Tucumán has sugarcane and lemons and Misiones grows yerba mate and tea. In the west, Mendoza is known for vines and olives under irrigation from Andean rivers, and the northern Patagonian valleys of Río Negro and Neuquén grow apples and pears.
Map My Crop supports growers, agribusinesses, insurers and agencies in Argentina. Field-level monitoring suits a country where farms are large, rented land is common and crop decisions are made on a tight calendar.
Main crops
Soybean
The main oilseed of the Pampas and the Chaco, grown for both domestic crushing and export.
Maize
Sown early or late in the Pampas, with water stress around flowering as the key risk.
Wheat
A winter cereal across the Pampas, often followed by a second crop of soybean.
Sunflower
Grown mainly in southern Buenos Aires province and La Pampa.
Grapes
Irrigated vineyards in Mendoza and San Juan, where Andean water supply and hail shape the season.
Sugarcane
Concentrated in Tucumán and the northwest, with harvest timing central to mill planning.
Apples and pears
Orchards in the irrigated river valleys of Río Negro and Neuquén in northern Patagonia.
What makes it hard
Variable rain, drought and flood
Rainfall in the Pampas swings between seasons, and dry spells at flowering have cut yields in recent years, while heavy rain can flood low-lying fields. Water stress maps, soil moisture and field-level weather show which lots are under pressure.
Frost, hail and wind
Late frosts, hail and strong wind affect cereals, oilseeds and orchards. Hail is a known risk for Mendoza vineyards. Growers and insurers need damaged area per field with dated evidence.
Deforestation-free supply chains
Soybean and cattle from the Gran Chaco region face scrutiny from EU buyers under the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR). Exporters need plot-level maps and a record of land-cover change within their sourcing area.
How Map My Crop helps in Argentina
Field health and zoning for large lots
Follow vegetation, water stress and growth stage lot by lot, and split large fields into zones. Variable-rate seed and nitrogen prescriptions export as ISO XML or shapefile for machinery that supports the ISOBUS format.
Yield forecasts for traders and processors
Forecast yield and harvest timing by field, region or portfolio from satellite data, weather forecasts and historical records. Plan crushing, storage and shipping before harvest.
Crop type and acreage verification
Identify which crop is in each field, track double-cropping and rotation, and total acreage by crop for a region or a supplier base, including through cloud.
EUDR sourcing evidence
Watch sourcing areas for forest loss, keep dated imagery as evidence, and link plots to shipments. This supports due diligence for soy and cattle supply chains going to the EU.
Drought, hail and frost risk for insurers
Score drought, excess rain, heat and frost exposure per parcel and portfolio, and check hail and drought claims against weather and before-and-after imagery.
How it starts
- Tell us your provinces, crops and whether you manage your own lots, a supplier base or an insured portfolio.
- We map or import field boundaries, identify crops where needed and begin monitoring from the current imagery.
- Your team works from maps, alerts, forecasts and exports in the platform or through the API, with sourcing or risk modules added when needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Map My Crop work for double-cropped fields such as wheat followed by soybean?
Yes. Crop type detection reads each season from satellite data and keeps a multi-season crop history, so rotations and double crops can be reviewed.
Can it support EUDR due diligence?
It supports the evidence side: plot-level sourcing maps, forest and land-cover change monitoring and dated imagery. Legal compliance remains the responsibility of the operator and its advisers.
Can it monitor vineyards and orchards as well as grain?
Yes. Field crops are monitored with Crop Monitoring and orchards and other tree crops with Plantation Monitoring, with block-level maps and stress alerts.
