Export market for Barley in Argentina (12월, 2022)

The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange has lowered its barley crop estimates to 3.8 million metric tons, 200,000 metric tons less than previous projections, due to lack of rain and late frosts. The national average yield is 30.1 quarters per hectare, and 87.8% of suitable squares have been harvested. The lowest yields are in the South of Córdoba and the North Core, with decreases of 41% and 41% respectively compared to the average of the last five campaigns. The Southeast of Buenos Aires, with 38.5% of the national area, has also seen a decrease in yield. Harvest is expected to conclude in the next fifteen days.
