Argentina is well-suited for SCP development due to its strong agricultural sector, rich biomass resources, and growing interest in sustainable feed inputs. The country’s emphasis on value-added agriculture and export-oriented livestock production creates a natural demand for protein-rich, locally sourced feed alternatives like SCP. Research institutions in Argentina are increasingly focused on bioconversion technologies that utilize agro-industrial waste, aligning with the country’s goals of improving food system efficiency and reducing environmental degradation.
Nevertheless, the SCP market is still nascent, with challenges including underdeveloped biotech infrastructure, high upfront production costs, and regulatory uncertainty for novel proteins. Public and private stakeholders are beginning to collaborate on pilot-scale fermentation projects, especially targeting aquaculture feed. With greater investment and knowledge-sharing, Argentina has the potential to become a regional innovation hub for SCP, particularly in sectors looking to reduce feed costs and environmental impacts while maintaining nutritional standards.
