During the weekend, beneficial rains for key crops were recorded in the core region of Argentina. In particular, important accumulations were received in localities such as María Teresa, Rufino, and Chovet, exceeding initial expectations. Other areas like Colonia Almada, Maggiolo, and Bigand also benefited from significant precipitation, while in northeastern Buenos Aires, Pergamino and Junín received lesser amounts of water.
The precipitation was noted for its sectorized behavior, with high variability in spatial distribution. Although not all areas received the same amount of rain, overall, the precipitation was positive to ensure crop growth, which is essential for the inflow of foreign currency into the country. This situation has been regarded as good news in a context marked by water scarcity.
In the province of Córdoba, significant rains were also recorded in some localities such as Pozo del Molle and Hernando. In Rosario, there was a rain accumulation of 16 mm, although in certain areas of the city, no precipitation was reported. According to a report from the Commodity Exchange, the rains over the weekend were crucial to save key crops in the core region, maintaining expectations for a good harvest in the first trimester of the year.
Economists and analysts have been evaluating the situation of crops in recent weeks, as this will have a significant impact on the harvest outcome and, consequently, on the inflow of foreign currency into the country. The complexity of the current landscape has highlighted the importance of closely monitoring the effects of rainfall on crops in the region to ensure adequate and sustainable growth of agricultural production in Argentina.
