Introduction: Chicago, Nov 6: the U.S Department of agriculture's overseas Bureau of Agriculture released a report on Tuesday, which predicted that Argentina's soybean planting area will increase to 11.4 million hectares, about 8 percentage points higher than last year, because it is difficult to plant other crops The forecast is higher than the government's estimate of 11.2 million hectares, largely due to heavy rain in Argentina since the Ministry of Agriculture released its estimate in mid October Based on the increase of planting area, the agricultural counsellor estimated that the soybean output would be increased to 28 million tons In addition, the preliminary estimate of Chen's production (harvested in April 2001) increased by 200000 tons to 26.7 million tons, in line with the official estimate of the Argentine government The correction of production data is supported by the significant increase in exports and the increase in crushing data.
