The Córdoba Grain Exchange estimated a significant increase in the area planted with corn for the 2025-26 season in the province.
Just hours after the announcement by Javier Milei's government to remove export taxes on grains, the Córdoba entity reported 2.9 million hectares (7.17 million acres) planted, 15% more than the previous cycle.
Greater water availability and a lower risk from the stunting complex are influencing planting decisions, with a distribution that still favors late planting dates, but with slight increases in early planting.
Corn in Córdoba: what does the Grain Exchange say regarding profitability
Regarding profitability for the 2025/26 season in Córdoba, early corn would provide the best economic results, followed by first-crop soybeans. Although results may vary depending on the area analyzed.
After a new survey of summer crop planting intentions for the 2025/26 season, corn reaffirms its recovery in planted area after the decline in the 2024/25 season.
This season, 2.9 million hectares (7.17 million acres) of corn are expected, with a 15% increase compared to the previous cycle and a 28% increase compared to the province's historical average area.
