Recent heavy rainfall in Argentina has adversely affected corn harvesting, especially in the central and southern regions, where rainfall exceeded normal levels. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported that as of March 20, the condition of 21 percent of corn areas ranged from poor to very bad, marking a 4 percent increase in just a week. Additionally, there was a decline in the areas categorized as satisfactory, good, or excellent. Despite these setbacks, there was a slight increase in the harvesting pace, now covering four percent of the planned area, though it still lags behind the progress made by the same date last year.
