Argentina's corn production forecast for 2023/24 was cut by analysts by 3% compared to the previous forecast. It is now expected that 51.9 million tons of corn will be harvested from an area of 8.2 million hectares.
Although weather conditions in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and Entre Rios have recently improved, this has not fully offset the negative impact of difficult weather conditions on crops in other regions, especially in the province of Cordoba.
