# Global grain demand continues to match supply | The Western Producer

> DTN analyst Rhett Montgomery says the 2024-25 grain outlook hinges on whether large supplies or strong demand prevail. U.S. corn ending stocks are held under two billion bushels as sales commitments run ahead of USDA export estimates, though Chinese corn purchases are down 86% from 2021 and Mexico accounts for 41% of commitments.

## Why it matters

Strong export commitments, especially from Mexico, could support corn prices if USDA raises its export estimate, while reliance on a single buyer and weak China demand add downside risk.
