The 2024/25 Argentina corn estimate remains unchanged at 46.0 million tons, with harvesting reaching 6.7%. Yield improvements have been noted, and conditions have stabilized. The next International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV will further address regional grain sector developments.
The corn harvest in Argentina for the 2024/25 season is currently estimated at 46.0 million tons, a figure that remains unchanged. As of late last week, progress reached 6.7%, which is a notable increase from the 2% noted during the same period last year, showing a weekly advancement of 1.3%. Harvesting is particularly advanced in regions such as east-central Entre Rios at 46% and north-central Santa Fe at 45%.
The average yield for corn thus far is reported at 8,010 kg/ha (127.3 bu/ac), reflecting an increase of 3.5 bushels from the previous week. Improvements in weather conditions over recent weeks have stabilized crops, alleviating prior drought concerns, although some areas in Buenos Aires are experiencing excessive rainfall. Nonetheless, the corn production estimate remains steady at 46.0 million tons due to improved soil moisture for late-developing crops.
According to the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, the condition of corn crops has enhanced for three consecutive weeks, yet detailed crop rating percentages were not provided last week. Consistently, soil moisture ratings for corn have also shown improvement during this period.
An upcoming event, the 23rd International Conference BLACK SEA GRAIN.KYIV, scheduled for April 24 in Kyiv, will address further developments in the grain sector of the Black Sea and Danube region, providing an excellent opportunity for strategic discussions and networking among industry leaders.
In summary, the 2024/25 corn estimate for Argentina remains at 46.0 million tons despite fluctuations in weather and soil conditions. The harvest has shown significant progress compared to last year, and average yields have improved. The upcoming international conference will highlight strategic developments in the grain sector, underscoring the importance of collaboration and innovation within the industry.
