Overview
- The total is up 49.6% from last season’s 18.6 million tonnes, driven by a national average yield of 43.5 qq/ha, which is 50.4% above the five-year mean.
- Soybean planting has reached 93.9% of the projected area, with excess moisture slowing work in NEA and Centro-Norte de Santa Fe while 95% of fields rate normal to good.
- Corn for grain is 91.7% planted, with 74% of early corn in its critical stage and 93% of the crop in normal-to-good condition, though parts of North La Pampa–West Buenos Aires show moisture shortfalls.
- Sunflower harvest covers 16.3% nationally, including 67% in NEA at 22.9 qq/ha and early lots near 30 qq/ha in northern Córdoba, with 96% of the crop rated normal to excellent.
- Sorghum sowing stands at 83.3% of 900,000 hectares, with recent rains delaying field access in NEA and NOA as first-planted lots move into flowering elsewhere.
