Argentina’s agricultural production was severely affected by recent storms, with up to 38 centimeters of rain falling in a single day in the province of Buenos Aires. “This was one of the most impressive rains I’ve ever seen,” said farmer Martín Vivanco.
“What I believe will be more complicated is the next production cycle. We are already in mid -May, late May, and wheat should be planted in June. With this level of moisture, flooding and problems related to water in the soil, I think it will be very difficult. Therefore, the overall perspective is complex, not simple,” said Vivanco
Excess moisture delayed the harvest, increasing the risk of disease disease and potentially impacting soybean performance in Argentina, according to Vivanco.
But his biggest concern was how the next production cycle would be affected.
The Buenos Aires grain bag warned that soy production may suffer substantial losses, as 730,000 hectares of soy remain not harvested due to heavy rains since the beginning of the fall.
