Tridge summary

Argentina is set to achieve a record sunseed harvest of 4.7 million tons in 2025, the highest in 25 years, significantly up from the previous year's 3.8 million tons. This bumper crop exceeds the country's processing capacity, creating challenges for the agricultural sector. Although Argentina plans to process 4.12 million tons, early 2025 saw a dip in processing due to Vicentin's restrictions, with expectations of reduced processing until August. Current processing rates are between 390-420 thousand tons monthly, suggesting much of the harvest will be processed later. The large harvest will also lead to increased exports of 125 thousand tons and raise ending stocks to 560 thousand tons.
