In Kenya, Milling Middle East and Africa reported that the Rosario Grains Exchange forecasts a wheat harvest of 23 million metric tons in Argentina for the 2025/2026 season, equaling the record set in 2021/22.
This upward revision, an increase of 3 million metric tons from earlier projections, reflects robust yields driven by optimal soil moisture across 6.7 million hectares of planted wheat, according to the report.
Corn planting is advancing steadily, with 26% of the estimated 9.7 million hectares sown by early October, a 16.8% increase in area compared to last season, the report added.
The exchange projects a record-breaking 61 million metric tons of corn, driven by farmers shifting land from soybeans due to favorable market conditions and export dynamics.
