In the latter case, they were lots that could not be planted during the previous cycle due to water deficit, but the producers decided to plant them in this campaign that has just ended.
Because, the total fine crop campaign, with wheat and barley, was 26.8 million tons.

In terms of wheat production, the core zone was the most developed.

Final wheat production 2021/22
The scenario marks a campaign higher than the initial assumptions by 2.8 million tons of grain. To what do they attribute it? That the fertilization that the producers bet on had an effect and that the rainfall records, which although they were scarce, were distributed “in a timely manner around the critical moments of the cycle.”
Therefore, the season reached 21.8 million tons, which marks a new record national. It is in turn 2.8 Mtn higher than that of 2018/19, of 19 million tons.

Wheat: yield issues and zones
The southern zone of the Core Region had some of the highest values in terms of quintals per hectare, with plots that reached between 60 and 70 qq/ha, in the north of Buenos Aires. At the same time, in the southeast of the province, some harvests with identical values were also registered. The rest of the Buenos Aires territory grew with yields that did not fall below 30 qq/ha, with the exception of the Colorado River area, where they were affected by the weather.
In general terms, the national average yield was 34.4 qq/Ha, and rises 21.9% compared to the previous cycle and 11.5% compared to the average yield of the last 5 campaigns.
