Argentina's 2004/05 corn sales unchanged at 14 million tonnes

 

 

As of March 31 Argentina had sold 14 million tonnes of 2004/05 (March-February) corn for export, according to the latest Agriculture Secretariat data. By this time last year Argentina had sold 11.16 million tonnes. Both of these figures are unchanged on the week, mainly because buyers are beginning to import 2005/06 corn.

 

Each figure represents tonnes sold.
