Rains arrive late for Argentine soybeans

Published 2023년 3월 24일

Tridge summary

Recent rainfall in Argentina has improved the water condition for soy beans, but it will not affect the expected soybean yields due to the advanced phenology of the crop. The projected production is maintained at 25 MTn, which is 44.4% below the average of the last five campaigns. High temperatures and lack of humidity are expected to cause significant decreases in yields, especially in certain regions. Some localities also expect losses of arable land and the water status in the north of the agricultural zone is heterogeneous due to the distribution of rainfall and high temperatures.

The rains recorded in the last seven days improve the water condition of the area planted with soy in Argentina. However, the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange clarifies that this improvement will not affect expected soybean yields, given the advanced phenology of the crop. So far, 39.5% of the surface is between full filling and physiological maturity (R6 - MF), while sectors in the center of the agricultural area have started harvesting the first noble soy fields. In this scenario, the projected production of 25 MTn is maintained, 44.4% below the average of the last five campaigns (U5C average production: 45 MTn). In the Center South, localities such as Junín and Baigorrita reported harvests between 10 and 15 qq/Ha respectively, while in the Center-East of Entre Ríos and Southern Córdoba, yields of 7 qq/Ha were reported in localities such as Crespo and La Carlota, respectively. At the same time, 67.7% of the area suitable for second-rate soybeans is between the beginning of fruiting ...
