The
'Green Desert' of Soya|
Soya
has become Argentina's number-one
export, and the area planted with this
crop is expanding each year at the
expense of livestock and other
traditional crops like maize, wheat,
cotton, potato and lentils.

The national Agriculture Secretariat is
touting this year's soya harvest for
having reached the 36-million-ton mark,
98 percent of which is exported to be
processed into flour for human
consumption in Asian countries and for
animal feed in Europe.
