This conjunction of climatic phenomena led to the yield estimation being located at 23.3 quintals per hectare (qq/ha), well below the 31.5 qq/ha average of the last 5 years.
“To find a lower yield, you have to go back to the fateful 2008/09 campaign: the country’s yield was below 20 qq/ha, when Argentina produced only 7.5 million tons,” the BCR stressed.
The wheat campaign took its first steps in a delicate context due to the lack of humidity, for which thePlanting was reduced by one million hectares compared to the previous cycle and a production of 18 million tons was expected.
“Although all the necessary technology was applied so that the wheat potential exceeds 18 million tons, the current scenario for Argentine wheat is going through enormous uncertainty and there may continue to be new cuts,” the entity warned.
It should be noted that the figure for November takes into account 5.9 million hectares planted with wheat and a loss of surface of 830,000 hectares.
Wheat harvest: what happens in each region
In the Cordovan territory, “the situation of productive disaster” deepened with a drop in yield from 21 to 18 qq/ha and with an area lost in 300,000 hectares, while in the core region another 200,000 hectares have been added to the unharvested area. .
In Buenos Aires, “yields have begun to be cut in a large part of the central and southeastern provinces”, so “unfortunately, the possibility that the province contained the blow, or at least the wheat bastion of southeastern Buenos Aires did , is falling behind.”
“The yields have been reduced by 30% compared to their potential and the adjustments can continue”warned the BCR.
The entity’s technicians stationed in the area indicated that “until now we estimate a drop in yield of around 30%, not counting the last frost on November 1 that affected the entire mountain area. We have already seen lots with losses of 100% “.
What is the status of soy
As for soybeans, the BCR maintained that “planting is being forced in areas without sufficient water while waiting for the forecast storms.” Soybeans gain back the area that would no longer be planted with corn, with 100,000 hectares more than last month and standing at 17.1 million hectares.
“In any case, a very difficult and difficult planting is expected this year, with great doubts as to how much can be finally implanted,” alerted the report.
Regarding corn, “there is little planted and hit by late frosts.”
Today 7.9 million hectares are expected with a national planting located in 25% of the projected area.
