虽然西部的阿根廷位于野生马铃薯的原产地，但是证据显示那里的马铃薯生产可以追溯到19世纪70年代，当时种植的2400公顷马铃薯几乎肯定是从欧洲进口的。如今，马铃薯生产规模庞大，机械化程度很高，集中在布宜诺斯艾利斯和圣达菲附近。
在过去50年中，阿根廷的马铃薯产量变化很小:2007年的190万吨的产量仅略低于1961年的产量。实际上，自20世纪60年代初以来，全国的产量平均约为200万吨，偶尔才会出现巅峰产量（如1998年产量达到340万时）。2005年人均每年马铃薯消费量约44公斤，这一消费水平自1990年以来几乎没有变化。
出现显着变化的是单位产量。随着种植面积的稳定下降（从1961年的20万公顷到2007年的约6.8万公顷），每公顷产量增加了两倍多，达到近30吨。2005年，阿根廷出口了3.3 万吨马铃薯和4000吨马铃薯粉。（来源:国际马铃薯年）
