The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange once again cut the cereal harvest to 52 million tons, 4.5 million tons less than what had been estimated in February. The leafhopper is an insect that persistently and propagatively transmits the bacteria Spiroplasma kunkelii, which causes a disease that has shown a recurring incidence in the north of the country.
The plague, characteristic of the north, has expanded to all productive areas. According to the calculations of analyst Gustavo López, this lower production will reduce the entry of dollars into Argentina.
