Corn Market Thanks to a week of minimal rainfall across Argentina’s agricultural region, the corn harvest is gaining momentum. Weekly progress reached 5.5 percentage points, bringing total harvest completion to 13 percent of the planted area, with an average yield of 8.27 MT/ha. In the northern region, the lack of rainfall throughout much of the summer growing season has resulted in a 40 percent decline in expected yields compared to earlier projections. Central and northern Córdoba, northern Santa Fe, and the southern agricultural area also experienced intermittent water deficits, primarily affecting late-planted corn and reducing yield potential by 6–15 percent, depending on the region.
