Argentina is the largest wine producer in South America and the 5th largest in the world, with over 1,200 million liters (2003), and the 13th largest exporter (431 million USD in 2005). Due to the high altitude and low humidity of the main wine producing regions, Argentine vineyards rarely face the problems of insects, fungi, moulds and other diseases that affect grapes in other countries. This permits cultivating with little or no pesticides, allowing even organic wines to be easily produced.Mendoza is the main producing province with 143,764 hectares. It produces between 70% and 75% of the national wine followed by the province of San Juan with 48,869 hectares.
