The total grain yield is expected to be 3.1% or 92,000 tons more than in 2021. An increase is predicted for spring wheat, spring barley, winter barley, and oats. Early forecasts show that winter wheat production will be 9% or 186 thousand tons less than in 2021.

HB4 wheat received the green light from the national government. This benefits Bioceres, a company of associated producers that generates biotech innovation. HB4 was developed in public laboratories and funded by Bioceres. On the government level, regulators from different ministries were involved.
