Dry weather favours wheat sowing in Argentina
Dry weather last week across much of Argentina has helped accelerate the pace of 2025/26 wheat sowing, particularly in key growing areas that suffered from excess moisture following heavy rains in May, the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange said on Thursday.
“Good weather has allowed agricultural work to accelerate in particularly delayed regions… such as the southern agricultural hub and the central province of Buenos Aires,” the exchange said in its weekly grain report.
Wheat sowing has advanced 12.4 percentage points in the past week, with total planted area up to 72.7% of the 6.7 million hectares expected for new season wheat, the exchange said. Argentina is the world’s leading wheat exporter.
For 2024/25 soybeans and corn, the exchange said farmers have already harvested 98.3% of the soybean crop and 55.3% of the corn. The exchange estimates Argentina’s soybean and corn production at 50.3 million metric tons and 49 million tons, respectively. Argentina is the world’s largest exporter of soybean meal and soybean oil and the third-largest exporter of corn.
