Argentina: Up to 40 thousand ha of barley could be lost due to heavy rains this month
Up to 150 thousand ha of wheat and 40 thousand ha of barley could be lost in Argentina following heavy rain, according to the Buenos Aries Grain Exchange (BAGE).
While tentative due to difficulty assessing the situation, such area losses could reduce production, the analysts said.
BAGE initially estimated that 5.5 mln ha of wheat and 0.8 mln ha of barley were planted for 2017/18. Further heavy rain, forecast throughout the reminder of September, could worsen the situation and could also likely delay early maize planting in the Buenos Aires and Santa Fe regions.
