# Argentine Oilseed Prospects Dry Up In 2018

> Argentina's three major oilseed crops, soybeans, peanuts and sunflower seeds, have all faced setbacks in 2018 that have reduced production outlooks. A USDA report puts Argentine peanut output at 792,000 tons, the lowest in 10 years, due to unstable weather and disease. Sunflower seeds fared somewhat better.
