Argentina shipped more than 101 million tonnes of grains and byproducts from January to October 2026, a 13% increase over the same period in 2025 and 10 million tonnes above the previous record. Corn exports reached about 37.1 million tonnes and wheat exports 14.5 million tonnes, up 45%, on an extraordinary harvest.
Record Argentine export volumes, especially of corn and wheat, show a large exportable surplus that competes with US and Black Sea supply in key import markets. Heavy shipments can weigh on international prices while the global supply outlook stays uncertain.
After 481 past neutral trade events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
