> Mexico's commitments for US corn stood at 9.023 million tonnes as of October 22, down 3.7 million tonnes from the previous year's record pace, a 31% drop in the 2026/27 marketing year. Mexican output is forecast at 23.5 million tonnes against consumption of 48.2 million tonnes, and Brazilian corn priced about $6/t cheaper is taking share.
