Overview
- The Rosario Grain Exchange reports wheat harvest in the Región Núcleo advanced only 13% in the week, leaving about 47% still to cut, with northern Buenos Aires largely at a standstill.
- Despite delays, field reports show high wheat yields around 50–70 quintals per hectare, alongside growing concerns over low test weight, protein and gluten that could trim value.
- November marked a fifth straight month of above‑normal rainfall, averaging about 106 mm in the core belt, which recharged profiles and delivered over 20 mm to three‑quarters of the region.
- Buenos Aires Grain Exchange confirms sunflower planting finished at 2.7 million hectares (about 23% above last season) and keeps production guidance, with early NEA tests at 25–35 qq/ha and localized pigeon damage cutting some yields.
- BCBA says soybean planting has reached 44.7% of a projected 17.6 million hectares and maize seeding continues under mostly adequate to optimal moisture, underpinning strong early‑season outlooks.
