WEEKLY AGRICULTURAL WEATHER OUTLOOK BUENOS AIRES GRAINS EXCHANGE

April 30, 2014


AGRICULTURAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: MAY 1 TO 7, 2014: PRECIPITATIONS OVER THE NORTHEAST OF THE AGRICULTURAL AREA AND MODERATE TEMPERATURE OSCILLATION.

OUTLOOK SUMMARY
Early in the perspective, northerly winds will raise temperatures above normal in the north of the agricultural area. The South, however, will observe winds coming from the south/southeast. Temperatures will range from average to below normal for this time of year. At the same time, the passage of a storm front will bring abundant precipitations to the north of the agricultural area, while the Center and South will report scarce values. Later, the entrance of southerly winds will lead to a sharp temperature drop in the south of the agricultural area, while the North will remain under the influence of tropical winds.

SOYBEAN
To date, harvest is 56.7% complete, covering an area of 11M hectares. Weekly and YoY progress stand at 14.2% and 9.5 % respectively. The national average yield is 3.13 T/h. So far, production stands at 34,7M tons. More than 700,000 hectares have been lost due to water excess during February and early April. Those plots still under water logging will define their future based on weather conditions during the next weeks. Our final production estimate is maintained at 54.5M tons for the current season. However, the high productivities achieved during the last 15 days indicate that the final volume could be higher than

expected. Main areas such as center-north and south of Cordoba, center-north Santa Fe and NEA ,which account for 34% of the national area, have reported productivities above initial forecasts, offsetting the losses above mentioned and renewing the possibility of achieving a new national record. (Production 2009/10: national record 55M tons).

CORN
Recent rainfalls and the harvest of soybeans over corn delays the progress of the latter. At a national level, harvest expanded into 25% of an area estimated in 840,000 hectares. The average yield stands at 7,4 tons/h. To date, production has reached 6.2M tons. Weekly and YoY progress are estimated at 2% and -18% respectively. This YoY delay is explained by a higher planting of late corn which, in most cases, is not ready for harvest. Only southern Cordoba, western Buenos Aires and northern La Pampa have already started collecting late corn. The rest of the area is still harvesting early- planted corn. Center-north Cordoba, center-north Santa Fe and the center- east of Entre Rios have completed the harvest of early plots. We maintain optimistic forecasts for late corn productivities. For this reason, we estimate a final national production at 24M tons.
