In January, Argentina's export figures reached a total of US$ 7.057 million, reflecting a significant year-on-year growth of 19.3%. This increase was propelled by an 18.5% rise in the volume of exports alongside a modest 0.7% rise in prices. The data indicates strong international demand for Argentine goods, especially in the agricultural and industrial sectors, suggesting a positive outlook for the country’s trade performance.

Conversely, imports in January totaled US$ 5.070 million, which marked an 11.9% decrease compared to the same month last year. The decline in imports was primarily attributed to a 12.1% reduction in the quantities imported, although prices saw a slight uptick of 0.2%. This trend of decreasing imports can be indicative of the country's efforts to stabilize its foreign exchange reserves and could also reflect domestic consumption patterns amid economic challenges.

Overall, the trade balance showed a surplus of US$ 1.987 million, which is a substantial increase of US$ 1.825 million from the same month in 2025. Notably, exports of manufactured goods surged by 37% to US$ 1.939 million. Primary products also saw significant growth, with a 35.4% rise in exports totaling US$ 2.057 million, driven largely by an impressive increase in the quantity of cereals sold. This improvement in trade performance is crucial for Argentina’s economy, highlighting its capacity to generate revenue through exports despite domestic economic concerns.
