Mexico imported 19.46 million tonnes of corn from January to September 2026, up 5.8% year on year, according to the GCMA using customs data. Yellow corn accounted for 18.87 million tonnes, up 7.4%, and 99.8% of it came from the United States.
Sader reports a different yellow corn figure but also shows an increase, which it attributes to higher demand for animal feed.
Strong Mexican feed-corn demand supports US corn export sales and firms the basis for US corn. Mexico remains the largest corn importer, so continued growth in its purchases is supportive for prices.
