The article highlights the impact of Argentina's delayed and reduced soybean harvest in the pricing of Brazilian soybeans. Despite Brazil's own record harvest, the anticipated increase in demand due to Argentina's inability to produce as expected could lead to a slowdown in the price drop in Brazil. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange estimates Argentina's production at 25 million tons, which is 44.4% below the average of the last five harvests. This situation could result in Argentina importing more soybeans, potentially mainly from Brazil and the United States. However, the ESALQ/BM&FBovespa Indicator in Brazil fell by 0.7% from March 23 to 30, with a 5.9% drop compared to February and March averages.
