Drought has lowered estimates for Argentina’s crops, but a change in the weather pattern may be on the horizon. Unfortunately, the shift in the weather pattern may be too little too late.

Hot and dry weather has plagued Argentina this growing season and that pattern looks to continue in the near-term.

Rainfall trends across Brazil’s growing region are split in two. While central and northern Brazil see generally favorable rains, southern Brazil is left waiting for moisture to improve.

Dry conditions continued to plague the growing regions from Argentina to southern Brazil through the second half of December.

Drought conditions continue to be a big concern for crops in Argentina where the extent of drought is some of the largest of the past 20 years.

Hot and dry trends continue into December 2022 for the major growing regions of Argentina, exacerbating drought conditions and slowing down soybean planting.
