The port’s new facilities supported higher volumes of wheat and corn. European buyers praised the quality of Argentine grain, increasing demand. The shipment encouraged further investment in railroads and storage infrastructure. The event helped establish Rosario as a key export hub. It contributed to Argentina’s rise as a major world grain producer.
