Mexico's agriculture minister said on October 20 that the domestic ban on growing biotech crops will not hinder U.S. corn export sales. Villalobos noted that Mexico is self-sufficient in white corn but depends on U.S. yellow corn for agro-industry.
He spoke during a visit to Iowa with Vilsack.
Mexico's continued reliance on imported yellow corn supports U.S. corn export demand. The assurance reduces the risk of a sharp fall in exports to the top market.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
