# Mexico Could Import Over 80% of Its Corn Within a Decade

> Mexico's National Agricultural Council (CNA) warned that imports could cover more than 80% of the country's corn demand within ten years. Mexico is projected to produce 23.5Mt against 48.2Mt of consumption in 2026, and yellow corn purchases keep climbing as the livestock sector grows.

Rising structural import demand from Mexico, the largest buyer of US corn, supports US corn export prices. The effect is gradual and mostly reflects long-term trends rather than a new shock.
