> CMB News forecasts Colombia's 2026/27 corn output to fall 6.9% to 1.4 million tonnes, while consumption rises to 9.76 million tonnes. Imports are projected at 8.3 million tonnes, reinforcing US origin dominance under a strong El Niño. Export corn prices in major hubs are reported as weak to stable.

## Why it matters

Colombia's rising import needs for feed corn add demand for US and other origin corn, supporting export interest. Weak export quotations limit the price upside, so the net impact is modestly supportive.
