Islas Malvinas ), and the South Georgia, South Sandwich, and South Orkney islands, all dependencies of Great Britain that are claimed by Argentina. Argentina also claims a sector of Antarctica. The climate of Argentina varies from subtropical in the north to cold and windswept in the south, with temperate and dry areas found throughout much of the country. Precipitation, lowest along the E Andean slopes, increases markedly N and E across Argentina. The chief rivers of Argentina are the Paraná with its tributary, the Salado; the Colorado River; the Río Negro; and the Chubut. In N Argentina the Gran Chaco, with the physiographically similar Mesopotamia (between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers), is a predominantly flat alluvial plain with a subtropical climate. The region is seasonally flooded, and marshlands remain for long periods during the year because of poor drainage. Livestock, cotton, and wood from the quebracho tree are the main products.

CINTRAFOR Working Paper Abstract Argentina's Forest Products Industry: A Country Profile Samuel J. Fleishman and Ivan Eastin. (69 pp) $7.50 Argentina's government has deregulated the forestry sector and offered subsidies to reimburse plantation development. Due to the low quality of plantation timber and the underdeveloped nature of the industry, Argentina tends to export raw materials such as pulp logs and import higher-value wood products such as paper. Forest products exports, though low by global standards, are increasing at a rapid rate. Argentine producers are now very active in trade within MERCOSUR and have recently penetrated the US structural timber market for the first time. The pulp and paper sector and the composite panel sector are more highly developed than the sawnwood, plywood, and veneer sectors. The former sectors utilize lower quality timber and enjoy higher domestic market demand. The latter two are currently developing, and should continue to do so as more well-managed plantation timber matures. Argentina has made a remarkable transition over the past decade. It possesses the climate, infrastructure, low cost structure, educated labor force, and regulatory freedom required to support a globally competitive forest products industry. Given the rapidly developing nature of the Argentine forest resource and wood processing sectors, the high levels of investment by Chilean forest products companies, and the fact that a substantial volume of future production will be exported to the US, it is timely for US firms to begin looking for ways to understand and participate in Argentina's forest products industry.

ARGENTINA An introduction Argentina possesses some of the world's tallest mountains, expansive deserts, and impressive waterfalls... C omprising almost the entire southern half of South America, Argentina is the world's eighth largest country, covering an area of 2.8 million square km. Argentina possesses some of the world's tallest mountains, expansive deserts, and impressive waterfalls, with the diversity of the land ranging from wild, remote areas in southern Patagonia to the bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires in the north. Its six major regions are as follows: This area surrounding the Andes began as a colony of Peru, but today only a few miners and herders occupy this unforgiving region of volcanic peaks and salt lakes. Very little rain falls in Cuyo, though to the east are found the fertile river valleys and subtropical lowlands of the Gran Chaco. Mesopotamia, a broad, flat plain between the Parana and Uraguay Rivers in northern Argentina, is wet, swampy and extremely hot during the summer. The northern province of Misiones, a more mountainous region nearly enclosed by Brazil and Paraguay, is densely forested and contains a section of the majestic Iguazu Falls. The Chaco This parched area in the west is part of the enormous Gran Chaco, a region that Argentina shares with Bolivia, Paraguay, and Br
