Maize and wheat have begun to overshadow <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/stage.dialogochino.net\/es\/agricultura-es\/36342-mapeo-de-inversiones-chinas-en-soja-y-carne-vacuna-sudamericana\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the oilseed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has been grown less and less each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While in 2014, the ratio of hectares of soy sown compared to maize or wheat was 4:4, this year it fell to 1:4. Far from the &#8220;sea of soy&#8221; that was the Pampean plains in recent years, record maize production is expected this agricultural cycle, adding <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcr.com.ar\/es\/mercados\/gea\/seguimiento-de-%20cultivos\/informe-semanal-zona-nucleo\/con-un-10-mas-de-area-la-region\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">up to 5%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more cultivated area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combination of factors including trade incentives and environmental damage has led producers to move away from the star crop of the early 2000s\u2019 commodity boom. Greater crop diversity could also bring environmental benefits such as protection against increasingly extreme weather events and healthier soils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This is a drastic change from seven or eight years ago. Today we are facing the most varied and sustainable season of the last decade,&#8221; said agronomist Cristian Russo of the Rosario Stock Exchange, the commercial heart of Argentina&#8217;s agricultural complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Soybean country is over, only the myth remains<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Seven years ago the field was all soybeans and for every wheat or maize plot there were five of beans. Today we are almost one for one, the change is impressive. Crop rotation is a more efficient, cheaper and more sustainable practice,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Argentina\u2019s new agricultural landscape<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcr.com.ar\/es\/mercados\/gea\/seguimiento-de-cultivos\/informe-semanal-zona-nucleo\/las-gramineas-cada-vez-mas-cerca\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> authored by Russo is clear. This year will see an expected increase of 7.73 million hectares of maize\u2019s planted area, with record production of 54 million tonnes. Wheat\u2019s footprint will also grow, with 3% more than last year, a total of 6.7 million hectares. Russo foresees a record harvest of 20 million tonnes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, Argentina planted 16.9 million hectares of soy, yielding 45 million tonnes. While it is still too early to estimate this year\u2019s planted area, Russo said the area to be cultivated &#8220;will fall by at least 100,000 hectares more&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a report by the consultancy<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/agrobrokerssrl.com.ar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Agrobrokers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Argentina will produce 51 million tonnes of maize this year, of which 36 million tonnes will be exported. This is more than double the amount produced in 2010 &#8212; some22.5 million tonnes, 13 million of which were exported. The same process is taking place with wheat.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy is moving the other way. While in 2010, Argentina harvested 54.4 million tonnes of the grain crop and exported 9.5 million tonnes, in 2021 it harvested 52 million tonnes and exported 6.3 million tonnes. The peak came in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inta.gob.ar\/sites\/default\/files\/inta_informe_estadistico_del_mercado_de_soja.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2015\/2016 season<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, when production hit 58.5 million tonnes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It is a sustained decline, while the increase in grass crops has been phenomenal. Soybean country is over, only the myth remains,&#8221; insisted Russo.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The cost of planting maize is still a short-term constraint for sustainable agriculture, but we have all learned that the cost of unsustainable agriculture is much higher<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Producers attest to the change. Mauricio Kunicic is a farmer and agricultural advisor working on a total area of around 7,000 hectares between the provinces of Santa Fe, C\u00f3rdoba and Santiago del Estero. Like almost all his colleagues, at the beginning of the 2010s he turned almost exclusively to soy. &#8220;We only had 50 hectares of maize and 50 hectares of wheat, that&#8217;s how extreme it was,&#8221; he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, he grows almost equal shares of each crop and plans to move to 40% maize and 40% wheat in the near future. &#8220;Today it is more profitable to grow maize and wheat than soybeans because the farmer prefers a system that takes care of the soil,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Argentina\u2019s soy: The economic equation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Argentina, export taxes are a key factor for farmers when deciding which crop to grow. Changes introduced by the government of Mauricio Macri (2015-2019), which saw the elimination of taxes on corn and wheat but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.agrofy.com.ar\/noticia\/177071\/cronologia-%20retenciones-argentina-repaso-su-origen-1862\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">left a 30% levy on soybeans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in place, explain the changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>30%<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\nThe rate of tax levied on Argentine soy exports<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When Macri lowered the taxes on corn and wheat, everything started to change. In reality, we went back to the traditional rotation, because the years of soybean monoculture were exceptional,&#8221; said Kunicic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fernando Botta, head of the Agrobrokers consultancy firm, most producers have now abandoned soy monoculture, even if maize is a grain that requires a higher initial investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The cost of planting maize is still a short-term constraint for sustainable agriculture, but we have all learned that the cost of unsustainable agriculture is much higher and we are willing to make an effort,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alejandro Ricordi, who farms some 800 hectares in the province of C\u00f3rdoba, summarised his reason for switching: &#8220;Before we only did soy, but now we do maize and wheat as well. Maize is expensive, you have to fertilise more and the seed is more expensive, but it yields a lot and takes better care of the soil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With higher profit margins than soy, maize could be Argentina\u2019s new star crop.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Taking care of the soil is taking care of capital<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy monoculture has accelerated soil erosion, a problem that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.argentina.gob.ar\/noticias\/el-36-del-suelo-argentino-sufre-procesos-de-erosion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affects 36%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Argentina&#8217;s land area. Producers observe this process in their fields, sometimes with financial costs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When you don&#8217;t stop growing soybeans, the same nutrients always leave the soil, it&#8217;s as if the soil were weakening. With many crops, everything is better tended,&#8221; Ricordi said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotation improves the soil andallows better yields for all crops, he added.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kunicic argues that &#8220;it was impossible&#8221; to sustain a model based on monoculture. &#8220;It brings too many diseases and weeds, something that is also improved by rotating crops because you rotate herbicides, incorporate stubble and fertilisers, and all of that adds more carbon to the system,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Botta, the new generation of producers understand that harming the soil for short-term gain undermines their future wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The Pampean plains used to be a winter grassland, which was replaced by a summer crop; soy. This had consequences,&#8221; he said, adding; &#8220;producers learned the hard way that, even if trade policies forced them into the short term, soil destruction is much more expensive in the medium and long term.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Weeds: a powerful and expensive enemy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/inta.gob.ar\/sites\/default\/files\/script-tmp-inta-problemas-actuales-malezas-en-regin-sojera-ncleo.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emergence of weeds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> resistant to herbicides most commonly used to treat soy &#8211; infamously, glyphosate &#8211; has changed the economic equation for producers and complicated grain crop wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;A lot of weed and pest problems were appearing due to non-rotation, which increased the pressure on the system. Resistant weeds are a total headache for farmers and require a lot of money to control,&#8221; Russo argued.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By contrast, maize management is simpler: &#8220;It is a very expensive crop to start, but once planted, it establishes very quickly and is a very efficient plant,&#8221; the agronomist stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kunicic said: &#8220;Today we are looking to attack weeds with tools that are not only herbicides, as with crop rotation. Rotation helps because it generates more biodiversity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Climate risks<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a country like Argentina, where the agro-industrial sector <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundacionfada.org\/informes\/aporte-de-las-cadenas-%20agroindustriales-al-pbi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accounts for 24%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of total economic activity, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundacionfada.org\/informes\/aporte-de-las-cadenas-%20agroindustriales-al-pbi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agribusiness for Argentina\u2019s Development Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, maximum attention must be paid to the effects of climate change.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the World Bank, Argentina loses an average of US<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancomundial.org\/es\/news\/press-release\/2021\/06\/29\/banco-mundial-argentina-pierde-unos-1000-millones-dolares-anuales-por-inundaciones\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in assets per year due to flooding. &#8220;Extreme events (floods and droughts) are the country&#8217;s main climate risks. Since 1980, the number of extreme rainfall events has tripled,&#8221; a recent World Bank report noted.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a scenario of strong climatic variability, crop rotation lowers risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This year started with a huge lack of water and yet maize production surprised us because it resisted much better than soybeans, it is a crop that withstands the lack of water better,&#8221; argued Russo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Botta agrees and says good field management limited the impact of last season\u2019s drought &#8220;Without rotation, it would have been much worse. Varying crops undoubtedly provides much more protection against climatic events.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driven by incentives and environmental concerns, farmers are choosing maize and wheat over what used to be the star grain crop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50000563,"featured_media":50044415,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[763],"tags":[531,595,600],"hashtags":[],"country":[50000020],"class_list":["post-50044411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food","tag-deforestation","tag-soy","tag-trade","country-argentina"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is Argentina\u2019s soy boom over?
