USDA's Buenos Aires office raises Argentina's 2026/27 soybean crop forecast to 52.5 Mt, 4% above 2025/26
Post raises Argentina's MY2026/27 soybean production forecast to 52.5 million metric tons (MMT), up eight percent from Post's previous forecast and four percent above the already strong MY2025/26 crop. The increase is driven primarily by expectations for excellent yields under a developing super El Niño weather pattern, which typically brings abovenormal rainfall to Argentina's major growing regions during the crop season. Post maintains its planted area forecast at 17.4 million hectares (MHA) and forecasts a national average yield of 3.07 MT/HA.
