Survey of Buenos Aires Grain Exchange (BCBA)A report released this Thursday (18) shows that the harvest of the 2025/26 corn crop in Argentina reached 48.2% of the cultivated area, after advancing 4.6 percentage points in a week. According to the agricultural agency, the national average productivity is 81.4 quintals per hectare. "In the North Core region, harvesting work is beginning to become widespread in late-planted corn crops, with an average yield of 79.3 qq/ha. In contrast, in the central and southern regions of Buenos Aires Province, the harvest of these crops continues to be limited by the high moisture content of the grains, which restricts the progress of machinery in the field," says the document. The BCBA maintained its production projection for the 2025/26 season at 64 million tons, a volume that represents an increase of 30.6% compared to the previous crop, whose production was 49 million tons.
