Coninagro projects Argentina's 2026/27 grain crop at 157.9 million tonnes, up 0.5%, with maize at 66 million and soybeans at 53.6 million. It warns that rising diesel, freight and labour costs are eroding producers' purchasing power.
Higher diesel and freight costs raise the cost of moving grain to ports and cut farm margins. A modest production increase is supportive for supply but does not move world prices much.
After 109 past bullish report events, DIESEL moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -3.3% to +3.9%), and +0.3% over 20.
After 563 past neutral report events, SOY moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 770 past neutral report events, CORN moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
