Argentina's grain-export deep port
Bahía Blanca is a southern Buenos Aires province city with a major deep-water port complex at Ingeniero White and Comandante Espora Airport. It is a key outlet for grain and petrochemical exports.
Founded in 1828 as a fortress on the southern frontier, it grew rapidly with the arrival of railways in the late 19th century. Its port made it a leading agricultural export hub.
