# 2026/27 farm season: fuel and freight pressure

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
