Scattered Rains Threaten Argentina's 2025/26 Corn Crop

Limited and scattered rainfall in Argentina's Pampas region could negatively affect the country's 2025/26 corn crop, as little significant precipitation has been recorded since December. This could reduce yield potential, especially for early-planted corn during a crucial growth period in the Southern Hemisphere summer.

Limited and scattered rainfall across Argentina's Pampas region is raising concerns for the 2025/26 corn crop, with meteorologist German Heinzenknecht highlighting the scarcity of precipitation since December.

Argentina, known as the third-largest corn exporter worldwide, faces a potential setback in what was expected to be a record-breaking harvest. This prediction has been cast into doubt due to the ongoing dry spell.

The Rosario Grains Exchange has underscored the impact of adverse weather conditions, which contrast with the favorable patterns seen in 2025, potentially affecting early-planted corn during its critical growth phase.
