The National Union of Agricultural Workers says Mexico produces only 42% of its grains and oilseeds and cites a drop in output of key crops. Mexican grain and oilseed imports rose by 1.8 million tonnes in the first nine months of 2026, and corn imports for 2027 are projected near 26.5 million tonnes.
Structurally rising Mexican import dependence, especially for corn, supports export demand for US and other origin corn and adds to price support.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
