In Missouri, World Grain reported that improvements in crop technology combined with favorable weather have helped boost Argentina’s wheat production and exports to record levels for marketing year 2025-26, according to a report from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the US Department of Agriculture.
The FAS projects Argentina’s wheat crop to reach a record 27.5 million tons, with most private sector estimates ranging between 27 million and 28 million. This compares to an estimated harvest of 18.5 million tons for 2024-25 and 15.8 million tons for 2023-24, according to the report.
“This historically high output reflects the adoption of improved crop technologies, particularly advanced seed genetics, combined with an unusually wet winter that supported exceptional yields nationwide,” the FAS said. “Favorable weather conditions during the grain-filling period, characterized by cooler temperatures and adequate soil moisture, further contributed to above-average productivity.”
