The US Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agriculture Service, (FAS) estimates that Argentina wheat production from the 2024/25 crop will reach an estimated at 18.6 million tons, up from 15.7 million tons in 2023-24. Planted area increased to 6.2 million hectares with improved conditions in April and May encouraging farmers to plant more than their original plans.
Argentine farmers are expected to plant 6.5 million hectares of wheat in the 2019/20 season, the government said in a report, citing good rainfall as the reason for the increase from its previous forecast of 6.46 million hectares.
