Argentina's corn exports increased in June from a year earlier because sales to Vietnam and Algeria leapt, according to economy ministry figures.

Sales of corn abroad rose by 36pc in the period to 3.2mn metric tonnes (t), the first year-on-year increase in four months. Exports to Vietnam jumped by 53pc to 710,400t, making it the fourth month this year that the Asian country ranked as Argentina's top corn buyer.

The second-biggest buyer of Argentina's corn in June was a group of non-designated countries, with purchases up by 55pc to 409,900t. Exports to Algeria rose by 32pc to 372,900t.

Wheat rises

Argentina's wheat exports also rose in June, more than doubling to 651,800t from 291,700t in the same month in 2024.

Brazil was the main importer of Argentina's wheat, receiving 427,100t in June, up by 59pc from June 2024.

The non-designated group of countries was the second-biggest buyer of Argentinian wheat after boosting purchases by almost fivefold to 112,500t from 23,300t in June of last year.

Soybean exports dip

Argentina's soybean exports fell by 29pc to 1mn t following a 33pc decline of sales to China to 909,100t.

Non-designated countries as a group imported 72,900t, significantly up from around 265t in June 2024, while soybean exports to the US shrank by 57pc to 18,100t.

Soybean meal exports from Argentina fell by 8.1pc to 2.4mn t in June from a year earlier after sales to the non-designated group dropped by 36pc to 735,500t. Exports to the single biggest individual buyer, Vietnam, increased by 34pc to 349,700t.

Barley exports fall

Argentina's barley exports declined by 26pc to 107,700t after China, the biggest buyer of Argentinian barley in June 2024, bought none of the grain from the South American country in June this year.

Brazil instead was the biggest importer, buying 81,000t, after buying none in June 2024. The non-designated group was the second-biggest buyer, at 26,600t.
