La Pampa, provincia (province), central Argentina. It lies immediately west of Buenos Aires province and straddles drier sections of the Pampa (northeast) and semiarid sections of the Patagonian Desert (southwest). The east-central city of Santa Rosa is the provincial capital.
Argentine agriculture is virtually coextensive with this region, although efforts have been made to spread it into other areas. Citrus fruit, tobacco, cotton, and sugarcane are cultivated outside the pampas. Wheat is the leading crop. Argentina accounted for about 75% of all wheat produced in South America in 1999 and was the world's fifth-leading wheat exporter. The area harvested in 1999 was estimated at 5.8 million hectares (14.3 million acres), and production at 14.5 million tons.
