2025/26 Argentina wheat production is unchanged at 19.8 [18.6–21.0] million tons, as early September dryness across the eastern Pampas gives a brief relief to the wet soils with the crop growth in full swing, though another round of rain may be on the way. In September’s WASDE (released on 12 September) USDA placed Argentina wheat production at 19.5 million tons, down from its August forecast of 19.7 million tons. Dry weather finally arrived in the eastern half of the Pampas early September, which had suffered from excessive moisture since the beginning of the sowing season. The majority of the top producing provinces, including Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba and Entre Ríos (where combined more than 90% of the country’s total wheat is grown) received virtually no precipitation amid cool temperatures over the past 10 days, providing a much needed relief to the dry soils there. Unfortunately, wetness is expected to return later this week, warranting attention. With the majority of the wheat crop already well into its prime growing season, the location and magnitude of precipitation, as well as the overall soil moisture status, should be monitored closely.
