This season's soybean crop in Argentina will be minimal over the last three years.

He will be 55 million tons.

The forecast was lowered due to the low yields of soy and the reduction of the total harvesting area of 0.9 million hectares to 18.3 million hectares.

In turn analysts of the Grain exchange Buenos Aires predict a decrease in acreage by 0.8 million hectares.

Experts Grain exchange Rosario suggested that the area under oilseeds this season may decline by 1 million tons.

As for the weather conditions in Argentina, they are much improved over last time. However, the pace of soybean harvesting is significantly behind schedule. 20 April 2017, farmers harvested soybeans with 3 million hectares (16.3 per cent) of the planned areas. Due to the delay in harvesting, the soybeans are subjected to various diseases that affect the quantitative and qualitative indicators of harvest of soybean.
