Wheat Argentina’s wheat harvest now covers 10 percent of the total area with an average yield of 1.1 MT/ha. It's important to remember that the harvest begins in the northern part of the country where yields are typically low, and this year, they were further impacted by adverse weather conditions (drought and heatwaves). The national average yield is usually 2.9-3 MMT, although this won't be achieved this year. Last week, the country received heavy rains that covered almost the entire agricultural zone, which is good news for many wheat fields in the grain-filling stage. At the same time, fields in Cordoba and Santa Fe that were almost ready to harvest will now see fieldwork delayed a few days.
