Argentine wheat exports should reach 12 million tons in the 2021/22 harvest, which is currently being sown, according to a new estimate released by the Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange. If confirmed, the volume, the highest since 2016/17, will be 26.3% higher than calculated for the current season.

The increase is mainly due to the expectation of production growth, projected at 19.15 million tons, compared to 17 million in 2020/21. In this scenario, the internal wheat milling should also grow in 2021/22, by 8.3%, and reach 6.5 million tons.

The following chart, made with DataLiner resources, shows a history of Argentine exports of wheat and corn per container since 2018:
