Argentina's grain output could reach a record 157.9 million tons during the 2026/27 season, according to the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange. This projection is based on anticipated increases in soybean and corn harvests, with soybean output expected to rise to 53.6 million metric tons from 50.1 million tons in the previous season, and corn production to reach 66 million tons from 64 million tons.
