The Rosario Board of Trade (BCR) has raised its forecast for Argentina’s 2023/24 soybean harvest by 500,000 tons, now expecting 50 million tons.
However, BCR’s corn predictions remain unchanged, showcasing the durability of these crops amidst various pressures.
As a top soy oil and meal exporter and a major corn supplier, Argentina plays a vital role in global food networks.
Its agricultural sector is notably affected by shifts in economics, environment, and politics worldwide.
Currently, spiroplasma threatens many Argentine corn fields, underlining agriculture’s broad spectrum of challenges, from disease to climate change.
The positive revision for soybeans contrasts with the steady outlook for corn, indicating proactive risk management and adaptation within the sector.
