# Record grain harvest ahead, but rising costs squeeze margins

> Coninagro projects Argentina's 2026/27 main grain crop at 157.9 million tonnes, up 0.5% from the previous cycle, with maize at 66 million tonnes and soybeans at 53.6 million tonnes. The report warns that higher fuel, freight and labour costs have reduced farmers' purchasing power for soybeans and maize.

## Why it matters

A larger Argentine crop adds export supply, which is mildly bearish for corn and soybean prices, while higher input costs may limit planting and marketing decisions.
