The GCMA reports that production of seven staple grains in Mexico fell 11%, about four million tonnes less, with wheat down 46.4% and white corn down 6.7%. The consultancy's director blames the loss of financing, insurance and marketing programs, and the article cites a sharp drop in planted corn area in Sinaloa.
Insecurity and extortion are also cited as drivers of the decline.
Lower domestic output of wheat and white corn increases Mexico's reliance on imports, which supports demand for US wheat and corn. The impact on prices depends on how much of the shortfall is covered by imports.
