2024/25 Argentina Soybean Estimate Unchanged at 49.0 Million Tons
The 2024/25 Argentina soybean estimate was left unchanged this week at 49.0 million tons with a lower bias going forward.
Rainfall last week favored western and northwestern Argentina with some weekend rain in southeast La Pampa and southwestern Buenos Aires. Most of the country remained dry last week. The forecast is calling for rain in south-central areas mid-week which should improve soil moisture. Dryness will continue to build across northern areas and temperatures will remain warm.
