BUENOS AIRES: Argentina’s wheat planting accelerated over the past week as mostly dry weather improved field conditions across key agricultural regions, the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange said on Thursday.
Planting of the 2026/27 wheat crop advanced 15.1 percentage points in the last week, the exchange said in a weekly report. The exchange added that 80.9percent of the projected 6.5 million hectares had now been sown.
Harvesting of Argentina’s 2025/26 soybean and corn crops reached 99.1percent and 52.9percent completion, respectively, the exchange added. The exchange projects Argentina’s soybean harvest at 50.1 million metric tons and its corn crop at a record 64 million tons. Argentina is the world’s largest exporter of soybean oil and meal and a major global supplier of wheat.
