In Argentina, Ruralnet reported the area under cultivation for grain production in Argentina is projected to reach 7.8 million hectares, representing a year-over-year increase of 9.6%
The increase is explained by good moisture availability in soil profiles, lower costs for several inputs, and greater awareness of pest management strategies.
At the regional level, the agricultural north (Northeast and Northeast) shows a gradual recovery of corn, to the detriment of soybeans and local crops, although concerns remain about the pressure of the leafhopper on late plantings. In Córdoba and the core region, a strong focus on early planting is expected, taking advantage of accumulated moisture, according to the report.
