Overview
- Rosario Grain Exchange projects total grain output near 154.8 million tonnes for 2025/26, approaching an all-time high.
- Maize is set to rebound to about 61 million tonnes, while soybean production is seen in the high‑40s to around 50 million tonnes despite reduced area.
- Weekly Pacific sea-surface readings have moved toward neutral, and winter–spring rains restored soil moisture, lowering summer rainfall risk.
- Short-term forecasts call for widespread storms between January 8 and 14 across key farm areas, offering timely relief for early-planted corn.
- Exports are estimated at roughly 110 million tonnes with agro-export value near US$36.8 billion, led by the soybean complex at over US$19.5 billion, though global supply—especially from Brazil—limits price gains.
