The Covid-19 pandemic has created a market for gourmet and healthy food products, providing opportunities for Argentine entrerriano production. With a planted surface area of ten thousand hectares, mostly located in the Mesopotamian Region, Argentina's pecan industry is growing at a rate of 800 hectares per year. In 2021, the country exported two thousand tons and sold a similar amount domestically. The industry, represented by the Clústerdel Pecán, is optimistic about reaching 1,200 to 1,400 tons of exports by 2022.
