San Luis' economy has, over the past generation, been among the most improved in Argentina.
Before the tax incentives for the industry applied in the province after 1982, its economy was more agricultural, this based mainly on maize and cattle, which is still very important specially related to dairies, meat plants, and tanneries.
Manufacturing, however, now contributes nearly half of San Luis' ouput, a higher proportion than in any other Argentine province. Of the industries installed in San Luis after the tax reform, mainly in the city of San Luis and in Villa Mercedes, it is worth mentioning the production of home appliances, textiles, ceramics, plastics, and paper/cardboard articles.
Mining is concentrated on construction materials such as limestone and marble, but also extracted are tungsten, uranium and salt.
This brief overview explains why you should consider visiting this province on an agricultural tour.
