Argentina: Oilseeds and Products Voluntary
Soybean and peanut sowings were completed as of late January with nearly a third of the sunflower seed crop harvested. Heavy downpours in early January around the primary production regions of north Buenos Aires and south Santa Fe provinces raised alarms about additional area loss for soybeans. However, better conditions have emerged since then and contacts report that the area has largely recovered. As such, Post maintains its soybean area harvested estimate of 19.3 million hectares, with production at 55 million tons.
