# Argentine wheat gains momentum: better yields and a harvest that promises challenges

> The Rosario Board of Trade raised its Argentine wheat production forecast to 23.8 million tonnes, 2.8 million more than before. The national average yield reaches 21.3 quintals per hectare, above last cycle's 20.3 on 6.498 million eligible hectares. Barley planting covers 1.27 million hectares, with 91% of plots in normal to good condition.

## Why it matters

A larger Argentine wheat crop adds exportable supply and gives buyers an alternative to Black Sea origin amid logistics and geopolitical risk, which is mildly bearish for wheat and barley prices.
