# Sorghum output, demand declines in Mexico | 2018-09-21  | World Grain

> USDA's Sept. 20 GAIN report cut Mexico's 2018-19 sorghum production forecast to 4.5 million tonnes and slashed sorghum imports to 350,000 tonnes from 2 million. Sorghum consumption was lowered to 4.8 million tonnes because feed users are choosing cheaper yellow corn.

## Why it matters
