Argentine wheat crop most delayed in a decade amid drought, exchange says
Jul, 01, 2022 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202226
Argentina’s wheat crop for the 2022/23 season is the country’s most delayed in a decade, as a period of drought and coming frosts force farmers to put planting off for better conditions, the Rosario Grains Exchange reported Thursday, June 30.
The announcement came a day after the Buenos Aires Cereal Exchange said it could again cut its estimate of the area that will be planted with wheat in the 2022/23 season, currently at 6.3 million hectares, if in the short-term rains do not bring relief to agricultural areas suffering from dry conditions.
A downgrade in the exchange’s estimate would be the entity’s fourth since May.
Argentina is the world’s fifth-largest exporter of wheat, moving up one position in the ranking prepared by the U.S. government due to a sharp drop in the forecast for Ukraine’s cereal exports due to the war with Russia.
