The 2025/26 soybean campaign in Entre Ríos remains about 22 % below expectations, with output near 2.7 Mt after a 5 % reduction in planted area and drought‑affected yields. Soybean oil prices have risen roughly 13 % since early 2026, driven by global demand for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, but Argentine exporters still face a tiered export‑tax regime. In Corn shipments surged, reaching 23 Mt in the first half of 2026, corn shipments reached 23 Mt, accounting for 44 % of declared grain exports 2026 and overtaking soybeans, whose shipments fell to 13.7 Mt – a 56 % year‑on‑year decline, marking the first time since 2021 that corn has been the leading export grain. By late July, July the Ministry of Agriculture reported a historic 71.5 Mt corn harvest, the largest ever recorded, after a 26.1 % expansion of planted area to 11.6 million ha and higher yields estimated at 7,240 kg ha⁻¹, with more than 75 % of the crop already harvested. The same figures were reiterated in a regional overview that highlighted record grain harvests across South America. Soybean prices in the Rosario market surged to an average of 510,000 pesos per tonne Harvest progress slowed later in late July – the first breach of the 500,000‑peso level in six months – after a temporary suspension of export‑rights duties and renewed international demand. Soybeans dominated trading volume, while corn interest remained stable and wheat activity stayed low. Only as wet weather left only about 40 53 % of the soybean record corn crop had been sold by June, harvested, tempering near‑term export flows. At the slowest pace in a decade, as farmers await a more favourable exchange rate, lower taxes or higher prices. same time, the National Corn Growers Association promoted corn‑based ethanol for maritime fuel; industry tests suggest that capturing just 10 % of the shipping fuel market could generate demand for an additional 3 billion bushels of corn, potentially reshaping export dynamics. Wheat marketing activity stays cautious, with the muted. The Rosario price trading 15‑26.5 trades around 23 % below Brazil’s Paraná wheat benchmark and widening to a 25 no August export loadings have been announced, even as global wheat prices rise. Despite this, 98.4 % discount by 13 July. of the 6.5 million ha slated for the 2026/27 wheat season have been planted, with most regions reporting good to excellent conditions. Exporters continue to prioritize corn (over 3 Mt) and soymeal, leaving wheat marketing cautious.
