Start of wheat harvesting in Argentina: a record advance over last year's figures
According to the latest monitoring from the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, Argentina's wheat harvest has started, surpassing the previous year. As of October 25, 7% of the planned area had already been threshed, which is significantly ahead of last year's figure of 3%. The volume of grain harvested is 528.6 thousand tons with an average yield of 1.3 tons/ha.
The stable development of wheat crops is ensured by favorable weather in the southern regions after frost events. Drought indicators have been minor and recent rains have greatly helped plant development. This made it possible to start harvesting grain at an early stage and ahead of last year’s work rhythm.
At the same time, corn sowing continues as planned, but the process has not yet reached last year's level. So far, only 22% of the planned space has been completed, which is the same as last year. However, this is below the last five years' average of 31%.
Corn, being one of the key crops in Argentina, requires special attention. Field work continues in active mode to reduce the gap in crops this year compared to previous periods. Procurement of grain for export and domestic consumption is the main task of farmers and merchants.
Taking into account weather factors and current results, the wheat harvest can be expected to be the best in recent years. This will provide Argentina with additional opportunities in grain exports and strengthen its position in the world market. In particular, this success will shift the focus of the country’s agriculture to increasing wheat crops next year.
Despite the slowdown in corn planting, Argentina maintains some stability in the production of this crop. Hopes for increased acreage next season remain as farmers continue efforts to catch up to recent years.
The overall picture in Argentine agriculture shows a positive trend, although there are some restrictions due to weather conditions. Wheat harvest ahead of schedule and stable corn crops bode well for the upcoming growing season.
