Argentina 2006/07 corn sales at 13.5 million tonnes

 

 

As of July 13, Argentina had sold 13.5 million tonnes of 2006/07 (March-February) corn for export, unchanged for over a month, the Agriculture Secretariat said Friday (July 13).

 

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 6.27 million tonnes of 2005/06 corn.
