Argentine Wheat

Argentina, 7th largest world exporter of wheat

We mainly market wheat from Argentina, but we also have wheat from Brazil, Russia and Ukraie. Currently, the wheat region of Argentina is located in the Pampean region and is divided into seven ecological subregions according to local climate and soil characteristics. The subregions are called: Ecological Subregion of Wheat I, II north, II south, III, IV, V north and V south. This wide region has a temperate climate, with two well differentiated areas: one humid, with an average of 800 millimeters per year, and another semi-arid, with 600 millimeters.

According to the latest calculation of the “Bolsa de Comercio de Rosario”, wheat exceeds all expectations, between November and December 2021 the estimates went from 20.4 to 22.1 million tons. In the penultimate month of the year, the main winter cereal left behind the effects of the heat and lack of water in October. That monthly jump of 1.7 Mt seemed unthinkable, but it is happening, they point out.
From the Rosario entity they underline that it will be the highest production in history, encouraged by “a leap in the level of technology that reached the small producer”. Until now, the largest Argentine production was that of 2019/20 with 19.5 million tons. Compared to last year, which registered 17 million tons, there will be 30% more wheat.
