Tridge summary

Pea cultivation in the north of Buenos Aires and the south of Santa Fe is experiencing a strong comeback in the 2023/24 campaign, with the area under pea quadrupling to 25,000 hectares compared to the previous year. This increase is attributed to favorable factors such as improved water availability and the ability to plant both winter and spring varieties.

The overall outlook for this campaign is expected to be better than the previous year.
