A record production that drives an unprecedented logistics movement in the ports of Gran Rosario: with more than 6000 trucks a day, grain inflows reflect the strong dynamism of the sector and the level of activity generated by the field throughout the economy.
The phenomenon is explained by the increase in the gross harvest, especially soybeans, which doubled its volume of income in April compared to March. According to data from the Rosario Stock Exchange (BCR), as of early Tuesday, there were 5519 trucks at the Up-River terminals, 22% more than on the same date
last year. Roads become congested.
This is a trend that confirms production growth. The BCR projects a total harvest of 160 million tons, with exports already reaching 40 million tons in the first quarter, exceeding the previous record by 11%. This volume explains the intense flow of transport that is concentrated in the region.
The income of soybeans is the main driver of this movement. In just one month, it went from 18,331 trucks in March to more than 36,000 in April, consolidating its position as the dominant crop at this stage of the campaign. Added to this are contributions of corn, wheat and sunflower, which continue to feed
the export circuit.
The increase in circulation also responds to the reactivation of the harvest after the rains recorded in the previous days. With better weather conditions, work in the fields accelerated and generated a simultaneous inflow of loads to the ports, intensifying activity throughout the area
. The entry of trucks with soybeans doubled.
In this context, the Gran Rosario once again positions itself as the country's main agro-export node, concentrating more than 70% of grain and by-product shipments. Each campaign mobilizes nearly two million trucks, a figure that accounts for the magnitude of the Argentine production system.
Projections indicate that the movement will continue to increase during May, when the gross harvest reaches its peak. On busy days, between 10,000 and 15,000 trucks a day are expected to converge in the port area
