# In the 2026/27 MY, Mexico sharply reduced corn imports from the US, restoring its own production.

> USDA data show U.S. corn export sales to Mexico at 9.02 million tonnes as of October 22, down 31% from the prior season's record pace. A new export agreement for 1.135 million tonnes was reported on November 2, and Mexican corn output is forecast to rise slightly.

## Why it matters

Lower Mexican purchases of U.S. corn reduce export demand, while Brazilian corn at a discount to U.S. Gulf prices adds competition, which is bearish for U.S. corn.
