**Report Highlights:**

Soybean planting seed produced locally will be affected by the decision
of one of the largest entities in the private sector to abandon research
in Argentina. That decision has been based on the inability of the
Argentine Government to assure a fare retribution for the property
rights of the genetics in the seeds. Imports of planting seeds have
recovered from their downturn in 2002. Exports of planting seeds have
returned to the level of 2001 after a heavy fall in 2002.

# Section I. Situation and Outlook

# Production

The 2003/2004 grain and oilseeds crop was hit by a severe drought in the
second half of 2003. The most affected area was the central part of the
country but scattered spots in other areas also suffered from the
drought. Yields estimations for major summer crops (soybean and corn)
were cut drastically in the first part of 2004. Soybean planted area
grew 1.4 million hectares in 2003. This expansion has been at the
expense of other crops such as sunflower and corn and a net increase of
nearly 600,000 hectares from what was previously grassland.

# Trade

The exports of planting seeds in 2003 did not show the spectacular jump
that the Argentine Government (GOA) expected as a result of the
devaluation of the peso, which occurred in February 2002. On the
contrary, after a slight downturn in 2002, exports of planting seeds in
general accounted to \$39 million, very close to 2001 figures. The
leading export market is still the United States, which accounted for 36
percent of total 2003 exports. The main species exported to the United
States were: corn, soybeans, vegetables seeds and alfalfa. Genetically
Modified (GM) corn of the Round Up Ready type produced under strict
safety measures (see policy section: off-season production of corn) led
exports.

While imports of pasture and vegetable seeds have recovered somewhat
from their deep fall in 2002, field crop planting seed imports have
remained the same as in 2002 despite the agribusiness boom in 2003. Only
imports from those countries that produce high quality pasture seeds
(Australia, Chile and New Zealand) showed the most important increases.
On the field crop side, only sunflower seed imports -both in terms of
values and volume- increased in 2003 with respect to 2002 and 2001.

Planting seeds pay no import tariff in Argentina. However, exports of
planting seeds pay a 5 percent export tax and receive a 2.5 percent
rebate.

# Factors Affecting Industry Structure

#### New Biotech Unit at the Secretariat of Agriculture

The Secretary of Agriculture announced the creation of a new
Biotechnology Unit whose goal will be to serve as a consultation entity
in regards to biosafety issues. It will be especially acute reviewing
new varieties of transgenic seeds.

#### The Mirror Policy

The European Union (EU) is the main export market for Argentine corn
(grain). So far, Argentina has approved new GMOs only after the EU has
authorized them. Now, Argentina seems to be re-thinking its GMO approval
policy with an eye to establishing a more independent one. Sources in
the industry assert that the Secretariat of Agriculture is ready to give
the green light to the release of RR corn (Monsanto's NK603) soon. There
are many different opinions in the sector about the impact that this
measure will have on the overall corn production, but it will make
production easier and cheaper.

#### The Brown Bag Issue

After many years of unsuccessfully trying to establish the property
rights for the Round Up Ready soybeans, Monsanto decided to stop soybean
research in Argentina. Nearly 100 percent of the soybeans planted in
Argentina are RR but only 27 percent of it is certified seed upon which
Monsanto receives royalties. While the GOA has signed the UPOV 78
agreement, companies like Monsanto would like to have their property
rights protected under UPOV 91.

#### Off-season Production of Corn

In 2003, a number of companies requested the permission of the GOA to
produce non-approved corn hybrid seeds for the United States. Thus,
following a strict protocol drafted by the Argentine Committee on
Biotechnology (CONABIA), 1,500 hectares out of the 8,000 hectares
requested were planted. In 2004, companies plan to request permission to
plant 9,000 hectares of which 3,000 hectares would be dedicated to RR
corn seed production. According to sources in the industry, thanks to
the reinstated National Seeds Institute (INASE, please see below), it
will be easer to request permission to plant these hybrids. INASE has
already sent invitations to the companies to submit applications stating
acreage, hybrids and estimated planting dates.

#### Re-creation of the National Seeds Institue

The National Seed Institute (INASE) was reinstated after three years of
inactivity. In 2000 the GOA dissolved the INASE due to a lack of budget.
On January 6 2004 the INASE was reactivated. Its main goals are: to
assure quality and proper identification of the seed to be marketed, to
promote the supply of improved varieties through the protection of their
property rights, to foster production and marketing of planting seeds as
a way to improve crop production in Argentina.
