# Firm demand for Argentine corn supports prices in the local market

> Strong export demand for Argentine corn is keeping local prices from falling further, with the grain quoted about US$10 below US corn. The USDA cut its US corn production estimate to 403.7 million tonnes on lower yields, and raised Argentina's corn production to 57 million tonnes and its exports to 40 million tonnes.
