Overview

  • The 33rd Aapresid Congress attracted over 12,500 attendees, 450 speakers and 150 exhibitors while debuting a live televised cattle auction that sold about 6,100 head and timed business rounds completing roughly 70% of meetings.
  • Economists highlighted that real interest rates of 20–25% and dollar loans above 10% have turned credit into a major bottleneck for agricultural investment and operations.
  • Aapresid’s president warned that no-till adoption has fallen from 90% to 78%, nutrient replacement remains below half of extraction levels and soils are losing organic carbon, eroding future productivity.
  • Climate experts cautioned that models predict reduced rainfall toward next summer, compounding financial strains on farms already operating with minimal margins.
  • Speakers called for accelerated adoption of precision and AI-driven agronomy alongside coordinated infrastructure upgrades and public-private action, noting that no immediate policy or financing relief is likely.
