Argentina Cooking and Edible Oils Market 2025

The Argentina cooking and edible oils market is set to increase from USD 1,036.7 million in 2024 to USD 1,478.9 million by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 6.1% over the 2025 to 2030 timeframe. In Argentina, sunflower oil reigns as the clear market leader, benefiting from both consumer preference and the country’s longstanding position as a major global producer. Favorable agroclimatic conditions in regions have ensured a steady supply of high-quality sunflower seeds, feeding a domestic refining industry that is deeply entrenched and technologically mature. This local abundance translates into cost stability and availability for Argentine households, which rely heavily on sunflower oil for daily cooking, frying, and baking. Its light flavor and relatively high smoke point make it well-suited to traditional cuisine, particularly in the preparation of empanadas, milanesas, and dough-based dishes.

The oil’s popularity is further reinforced by its perceived health profile, which appeals to an increasingly wellness-conscious middle class. Argentine consumers, particularly in urban centers like Buenos Aires and Rosario, have shown an affinity for oils rich in polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E. As international dietary trends converge with local culinary culture, refined sunflower oil has become synonymous with everyday healthiness, while cold-pressed and high-oleic varieties are gaining prestige among gourmet and health-focused buyers. Although soybean oil is present in industrial applications, sunflower oil’s dual appeal—nutrition and national identity—places it at the heart of Argentina’s edible oil economy.
