Buenos Aires province produces 53% of Argentina's honey, with nearly 8,000 beekeepers managing around 1.7 million hives. This information was shared by the Provincial Beekeeping Directorate during the XVII Latin American Beekeeping Congress (Filapi), ongoing at the Gran Hotel Provincial in Mar del Plata. Ariel Guardia López, the director of Beekeeping, noted that while producers are spread throughout the province, key productive areas include the Salado Basin, southeast, and southwest regions. However, the sector faces challenges due to rising input costs and production fluctuations influenced by climate and water availability.
