Argentina Farm Machinery Registrations Drop in December as 2025 Ends Up 2% on Combine Rebound

Dealers expect easier financing in 2026 but caution that surging low‑cost imports and used equipment could squeeze domestic players.

Overview

  • December registered 456 units, down 8.4% from November and 16.2% year over year, marking a fourth straight monthly decline.
  • Full‑year 2025 reached 6,643 registrations, a 2.0% increase versus 2024, with combines driving the gain.
  • Segment results for 2025: combines 734 units (+19.2%), tractors 5,259 (+0.3%), and sprayers 650 (−0.8%).
  • December mix: 47 combines, 377 tractors, and 32 sprayers, reflecting broad late‑year cooling.
  • ACARA says official registrations undercount activity, citing nearly 4,000 Chinese tractors entering in 2025 and an estimated total market of 8,800–9,300 units, as dealers flag risks from used-import competition despite better credit conditions.
