Argentina grain shipments stay strong as corn reaches 3.7m tonnes in September
Argentina shipped 3.7 million tonnes of corn, 2.4 million tonnes of soybean meal, 1.1 million tonnes of wheat, 870,000 tonnes of soybeans and 500,000 tonnes of soybean oil in September. Early October schedules add 5.28 million tonnes, led by corn and soybean meal, with San Lorenzo dominant.
Argentina shipped 3.7 million metric tons of corn in September, while soybean meal exports reached 2.4 million tons, keeping agricultural cargo flows elevated across the country’s main export terminals.
Wheat shipments totaled 1.1 million tons, followed by 870,000 tons of soybeans and 500,000 tons of soybean oil, according to an October 6 shipping report cited by DataPortuaria.
The September figures show stronger movements in several major commodities compared with August. Corn shipments had totaled 3.4 million tons the previous month, while soybean exports stood at just 190,000 tons and wheat at 700,000 tons. Soybean meal and soybean oil volumes were unchanged month over month.
Argentina grain shipments remain heavy heading into October
The flow of agricultural cargo is set to remain significant in early October.
As of October 5, vessels scheduled to load at Argentine ports accounted for another 5.28 million metric tons of cargo.
Corn represented the largest share, with 2.07 million tons scheduled, followed by 1.47 million tons of soybean meal. Planned soybean loadings totaled 930,388 tons, while wheat accounted for 471,300 tons and soybean oil for 340,647 tons.
The figures point to continued demand for berth capacity and bulk-export logistics after September’s sizeable grain and oilseed-product movements.
San Lorenzo leads scheduled cargo volumes
San Lorenzo accounted for more than half of the cargo scheduled at Argentine ports, with 2.81 million tons lined up for shipment.
That total included 919,300 tons of corn and 1.21 million tons of soybean meal.
Rosario followed with 1.11 million tons of scheduled cargo, while Bahía Blanca had 788,700 tons. Necochea-Quequén accounted for another 415,789 tons, and Ramallo had 94,200 tons scheduled.
At the southern ports, Bahía Blanca’s lineup included 341,200 tons of corn, 354,000 tons of soybeans and 93,500 tons of wheat.
Necochea-Quequén, meanwhile, had 196,201 tons of corn, 195,388 tons of soybeans and 24,200 tons of wheat scheduled for loading.
The combination of strong September shipments and a sizeable early-October vessel lineup keeps Argentina’s grain-export corridors active, with corn and soybean meal accounting for the largest share of outbound volumes and San Lorenzo remaining the main concentration point for scheduled cargo.
