Argentina is currently offering the world's lowest prices for international corn due to both commercial and climatic factors. The country's exporters are set to ship 2.85 million tons of corn in September, but the flow of the Paraná River is posing logistical challenges, leading some ships to carry partial loads. Despite the challenges, global demand for US corn is high due to concerns about South American export supplies in the first half of 2025. However, Argentine farmers face difficulties in planting for the 2024/25 harvest due to water deficits, increased fertilizer prices, and disease risks. Furthermore, the Argentine government's decision to maintain high export duties on agricultural commodities results in lower local prices, discouraging investments in agricultural technology.
