”Oil and gas . . . . (at 7.9%) . . . share has been dropping sustainedly since 2006 when they represented 14.4% of Argentina’s total exports.”

This is perhaps the reason why Soy (23.3 -> 24.5%) and cars (?->12.6%) have shown a % increase.

It does not, in itself, indicate an increase in soy export or an increase in car export (though this may be the case).

And, of couse, the real inflation and its change over the 12 months in question, means that the purchasing power of the income derived from these exports may be more, the same or less in the way it translates into value to the man in the street.

PS Has Argentina won back its Chinese soy export trade yet?

79% of Argentina's car exports went to Brazil (cheaper to buy and import from Argentina than to buy in Brasil),
while around 8% were shipped to Europe
and 3.6% each to Mexico and neighboring Uruguay.

and in Germany for the EU and 'small states' markets.

It is presently at half the planned production rate of 90k pa.
It should sell well in Brasil if it is priced correctly against the Hilux, Navara & Triton.

Let's hope that Argentina can gently persuade VW to keep its SA sales profits in SA; strong-arm CFK-type persuasion is VERY counter-productive with the Germans.

Are you trying to state that this pick up succesfully launched in the UK has been made in Argentina? :-D

I think Think means *assembled* in Argentina.
The components, 'parts,' probably come from feeder factories around the globe - like many cars produced today.
