Los Grobo is one of the largest seed multipliers in Argentina. It markets soybeans, wheat and barley and has 30 branches that allow it to reach the Argentine agricultural producer directly.

Regarding the campaign, Alonso explained: “The sales of wheat seeds surprised us because they were much more than we expected. Now we are concerned that it may happen with some areas where it is not raining enough, but we still see a wheat campaign with very good prospects”.

Regarding corn, the Grobo’s technical advisor also said that the pre-sale of hybrids was also very good, as of May, sales began to stall and now they estimate a cut in the area of ​​around 10%. “The Argentine producer has very tight profit margins and that is why he has to fine-tune his production to avoid losing money in some productive areas. Now the campaign depends to a great extent on the international prices that accompany it” Alonso said. efarmnewsar.com
