With 99% of hectares planted, StoneX's estimate remains firm for the main soybean harvest, with expectations also focused on corn and second-crop soybeans

The result refers to the main oilseed harvest in the 2024/25 cycle, with planting having been practically completed.

Although the Argentine harvest has improved after the previous bad year, the Paraguayan supply remains crucial to maintaining oil production in Argentina, especially in areas such as Rosario, which depend on a constant flow of the grain. Argentine soybean processing between April and September of this year was 23.5 million tons, a figure 47.6% higher than that recorded in the same period of 2023, according to official data. The news is that much of this growth was possible thanks to the import in the quarter of 4.41 million tons of soybeans – which mostly came from Paraguay – a figure that represented 18.9% of Argentine grinding in the period, Bichos de Campo reported. The largest exporters of Paraguayan soybeans are the subsidiaries of Cargill and Viterra, followed by Agrofértil (Sarabia group with Paraguayan capital), Bunge, ADM, Copagra (a Paraguayan company that has strategic partnerships with LDC and Bunge), Cofco and LDC,
