THE Buenos Aires Grain Exchange (BCBA) It was reported this Thursday (11) that the planting of the 2026/27 wheat crop in Argentina reached 44.2% of the estimated area, after advancing 11.8 percentage points in a week. According to the agency, “the work was mainly concentrated in the central agricultural area, in the south of Córdoba, in Santa Fe and in the two central regions, due to the recovery of moisture in the topsoil layer. Meanwhile, in the north and south, planting was delayed by ambient humidity and waterlogged soil conditions”. According to the BCBAThe country is expected to cultivate 6.5 million hectares with wheat in the next cycle, while production should reach 21.3 million tons. These figures represent a 3% decrease in planted area and a 23.4% drop in production compared to the previous season.
