A good harvest for Argentine Blueberry

Argentine blueberry production has taken advantage of its counter-seasonal harvest and an abundance of demand during the Northern Hemisphere's winter to grow into a US$25 million export industry. In 2005, Argentina harvested 3,000 tons of blueberries, and exported 2,700 tons. Production in the short-term is forecast to continue growing through at least 2011, when all 3,400 hectares planted today should be bearing their maximum potential.
