Argentina's Agriculture Secretariat forecasts a 2018/19 grain harvest of 140 million tonnes, up 25 percent, with soybeans at 54.2 million tonnes and corn at 49.68 million tonnes. The country is recovering from its worst drought in 60 years and hopes to win Chinese access for soymeal exports.
Argentina imported US soybeans for the first time in 20 years this year.
A large Argentine harvest and expected record soybean exports to China add supply to world oilseed and corn markets, pressuring prices, while the trade war keeps China's soymeal sourcing in flux.
