# Bumper harvest of soybeans and corn expected in Argentina, says Rosario grains exchange — MercoPress

> The Rosario grains exchange expects Argentina's 2018/19 soybean crop at 56 million tons, two million above prior estimates, and corn at 48 million tons versus 47.3 million previously. Favorable weather during the harvest is driving the upgrade after last year's drought.
