the Rosario Stock Exchange (BCR) Edit up crop to wheat He pointed out that it was in the middle historical returns, Record production expected: 24.5 million tons. This volume exceeds the maximum of 23 million tons in 2021/2022.
“Wheat production forecasts have been revised upward by 1.5 million tons in the October-November period, far exceeding the initial forecast in July of 20 million tons. It is estimated that a record production of 24.5 million tons could be obtained with a national average production of 37.7 quintals per hectare (qq/ha). Regarding the wheat cultivation area, we work with an area of 6.9 million hectares.
He also pointed out that “if the 2021/22 campaign, with 23 million tons, was a super wheat campaign, then the current campaign will be a huge campaign.” He explained that this cycle will exceed the previous record by 6.5% in production and 2.7 F/ha in the national average crop. Harvest is 15% advanced.
In this context, the performance in strategic areas is surprising. “Although there is still a lot to be harvested, record unit productivity has already been observed in the three most important provinces of Argentina. This is the case of Buenos Aires, which can produce 40.8 qf/ha, surpassing the 2021/22 mark of 39.5 qf/ha. The same thing happens in Cordoba, which will exceed, with 36.8 qf/ha, the 36 it obtained at that time. In Santa Fe, the expected yield is 42.2 FF/ha, which also exceeds what was obtained (40.6 FF/ha).”
Regarding the reason for these good results, BCR noted: “Apart from the excellent moisture conditions for autumn planting, the unprecedented rains in July and, above all, those in August, there were also excellent fill conditions over much of the Pampas. The rains continued to hold in November.”
He added: “With almost no water restrictions and under conditions of low temperatures and high solar radiation, some technicians described that the filling process was carried out under almost ideal conditions. It almost indicates the negative effects resulting from the sweep of extremely cold air on October 28. In the previous days, rain fell and the event occurred with good relative humidity. At any rate, it aroused alarms and inquiries in the south-west of the Pampas. In general, it will not have much impact. Specific damage was observed in Pigüé and Darregueira and in the late plots at La Pampa and without significant damage in the plots that were already filled.
