# Is Argentina’s Soy Boom Over? - Transport Energy Strategies

> Argentina is planting the least soybean area in a decade, with a soy-to-maize-or-wheat ratio falling from 4:4 in 2014 to 1:4 this year. Record maize output of about 54 million tonnes is expected, along with a wheat harvest near 20 million tonnes, as trade incentives and rotation favour other crops.
