Overview

• CARBAP says inundation is still spreading across key districts such as Bolívar, 25 de Mayo, Carlos Casares, Hipólito Yrigoyen, 9 de Julio, Pehuajó, Lincoln and General Viamonte, with many farms now inaccessible.
• Producers are requesting heavy machinery to reopen roads and clear channels, targeted financing at differentiated rates, and immediate tax relief from national, provincial and municipal authorities.
• Large tracts in a zone that produces roughly 15% of Argentina’s maize and soy are already ruled out for early maize sowing, and farmers are unsure about planting soy, sunflower or late maize.
• Rural organizations report severe community impacts as impassable roads disrupt schooling, delay ambulances and hinder delivery of essential supplies.
• CARBAP blames unfinished flood-control works such as the Río Salado master plan and poor maintenance of rural infrastructure, while the 9 de Julio Rural Society urged President Javier Milei in an open letter to send machinery and personnel immediately.
