# Agriculture Ministry assures white corn supply and rules out tortilla price increases

> Mexico’s Agriculture Ministry said national supplies of white corn for human consumption are sufficient and that it does not expect increases in prices for flour or tortillas. It said strong irrigated production in Sinaloa and southern Sonora, supported by reservoir water, can offset climate-related production losses elsewhere, while strategic reserves and government procurement programs also support availability.

## Why it matters

The ministry’s assessment suggests regional production and reserves can cover domestic demand despite weather-related losses, limiting near-term supply concerns and price pressure for white corn. These are official assurances rather than new production figures.
