Argentina 2006/07 corn sales at 13.5 million tonnes as of August 3


 

As of August 3, Argentina had sold 13.5 metric tonnes of 2006/07 (March-February) corn for export, unchanged since June, the Agriculture Secretariat said Friday (August 3).

 

In November, the government froze the export registry in the face of soaring export declarations.

 

In June, the Agriculture Secretariat announced the reopening of the corn export registry for 3 million tonnes, but the quota was filled within a week.

 

By this time last year Argentina had sold 6.725 million tonnes of 2005/06 corn.
