Rosario Board of Trade (BCR) updated its wheat production estimate for the current season this Friday and set the projection at 27.7 million tons, a historic record that completely changes the initial scenario outlined for the cycle.
The new projection exceeds the October estimate by 3.2 million tons and is also 2.2 million above the figure calculated by Buenos Aires Grain Exchange. For the Rosario entity, “the 2025/26 data continue to surprise” and the progress of the harvest confirms that the crop is experiencing “a unique season due to its almost ideal conditions.”
One of the decisive factors was the revision of the planted area. BCR added 220,000 additional hectares, raising the national area to 7.17 million hectares. This increase, together with harvest results that already cover 58% of the country's plots, made it possible to consider outstanding yields in the main production areas: almost 60 quintals per hectare in the core region, 42 qq/ha in Entre Ríos, and almost 40 qq/ha in Córdoba.
If current projections are confirmed, production will exceed the previous cycle by 37%. The magnitude of the leap was reflected in another part of the report: “considering the last 25 agricultural seasons, the wheat figure is a record from every angle.”
