Argentina: Corn production reaches a historic record

The 2025/26 corn season has seen excellent performance with a record harvest and average yields exceeding 7200 kg/ha.

The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy reports that the 2025/2026 corn harvest has reached a record 71,500,000 tons, with harvesting already exceeding 75% of the estimated area.

The crop benefited from an increase in planted area, which rose from 9,200,000 hectares to 11,600,000 hectares, representing a 26.1% increase compared to the previous season, and from improved yields, which increased from 6,900 kg/ha to 7,240 kg/ha on average nationwide compared to the 2024/2025 season.

USDA corn and soybean projections for 2026/2027 – July 2026

In its latest update, the global corn balance has been revised to reflect production cuts in the United States and Argentina, reducing exports and ending stocks, while China is gaining ground as a buyer of Argentine corn and reshaping South American trade flows. In contrast, soybeans continue to show strong growth, supported by robust production in Brazil and the United States—which offsets Argentina's slowdown—with Chinese demand further fueling this momentum by driving soybean processing in Brazil.
