By Maximilian Heath
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 16 (Reuters) – The arrival of a cold front over Argentina’s agricultural heartlands next week could affect wheat yields for the 2025/26 season, the Buenos Aires grains exchange said on Thursday,
The exchange currently predicts a harvest of 22 million metric tons.
Argentina is one of the world’s leading wheat suppliers and the exchange’s prediction, if it proves true, would make this season’s crop the country’s second-largest in its history.
“Weather forecasts warn of a cold snap next week which, depending on its intensity and distribution, could affect the crop during its critical stages,” the exchange said.
Argentine farmers will harvest their wheatfields from November through January.
The exchange said that corn farmers had meanwhile planted 29.9% of the estimated crop area, and maintained its prediction of a 61 million-ton harvest.
