Argentina rains to give welcome boost to imminent corn planting
BUENOS AIRES, Sept 2 (Reuters) -Rainfall in Argentina at the weekend is expected to boost the 2024/25 corn crop as farmers begin planting this month, the Rosario grains exchange said in a report published on Monday.
As much as 50 millimeters (2 inches) of rain fell in some areas of the country's core farmland, with showers particularly benefiting the north of Buenos Aires province and the southern part of Santa Fe province.
Argentina is a major global grains supplier. Proceeds from sales of corn, wheat and processed soybeans are key to bulking up foreign currency reserves in central bank coffers, which are needed to pay down debt and finance imports in the South American nation.
The report comes amid news that local farmers are slated to plant less of the crop in the 2024/2025 season due to fears that the leafhopper insect could again harm the corn crop.
However, "the accumulated rainfall has significantly spurred intentions to add new plots to the corn campaign," the report said.
Last month, the exchange estimated that the area dedicated to corn in the new season will fall by about a fifth compared to the previous campaign, dropping to 7.67 million hectares.
The exchange forecasts that the 2024/25 corn harvest will yield 49 million metric tons.
