In recent times, the Marchionni family has consolidated its presence as a leading force in the field of pisingallo corn export. Thanks to their strategic vision and uncompromising commitment to quality, these producers have managed to expand their horizons and penetrate new markets, especially in the Asian region.
Pisingallo corn, also known as palomero corn, is a special variety grown specifically for the production of the popular candy known in Argentina as “pochoclo” or “pororó”, and has various names throughout Latin America, such as “popcorn” in Mexico, “pipocas” in Brazil and “cabritas” in Chile, among others.
Argentina, the leader in world corn production, is also positioned as the main exporter of pisingallo corn, contributing significantly to the global market. Of the 220 thousand tons produced, only 10 thousand tons are destined for domestic consumption, which reflects the focus focused on the export of this product.
The optimal climatic and geographical conditions in Argentina, particularly in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Tucumán and Salta, provide a favorable environment for the cultivation of pisingallo corn. Furthermore, the availability of advanced agricultural technology and adequate water resources has contributed to the sustained success of this crop production in the country.
Pisingallo corn production in Argentina has experienced constant growth in recent years, occupying between 40,000 and 55,000 hectares of arable land. This increase has been driven mainly by growing international demand and recognition of the distinctive quality and flavor of Argentine pisingallo corn in international markets.
The Marchionni family has played a key role in taking advantage of this growing demand for Argentine corn, expanding its presence in the coveted Asian market. Their experience in growing corn, combined with an unwavering focus on quality, has allowed them to establish strong business relationships with importers and distributors around the world.
One of the pillars of the Marchionni family’s success has been its ability to manage the entire value chain, from hybrid seed production to processing and export. The company prides itself on meeting the highest quality standards, backed by international certifications such as ISO 9001 and BRC.
Under the company Alberto L. Marchionni S.A., the Marchionni family has consolidated its position as one of the main producers and exporters of pisingallo corn in Argentina. Founded in 1995 and based in Hughes, province of Santa Fe, the company has a long history in the production, processing and export of seeds and food products.
In 2023, the company produced 30,000 tons of grain, most of which was destined for export, thus contributing to the country’s employment and foreign exchange. Its active participation in important international fairs, such as Gulfood, Sial and Anuga, has strengthened its position in the global market and has contributed to the growth of the pisingallo corn industry in Argentina.
The success of the Marchionni family is a testament to the potential and opportunities that the international market offers for Argentine companies committed to quality, innovation and excellence in agricultural production.
