# Colombia’s corn, rice production forecast to decline in 2026/27

> USDA-FAS forecasts Colombia’s 2026/27 corn production to fall 6.9% to about 1.4 million tonnes, citing El Niño-related heat and weak farmgate prices that discourage planting. Corn consumption is projected at 9.76 million tonnes and imports at 8.3 million tonnes, with the United States supplying more than 95% of imports; rice production is also forecast to decline 6.7%.

## Why it matters

Lower domestic corn output alongside rising feed demand is expected to increase import reliance, supporting demand for imported corn and potentially tightening local availability. Reduced rice production may also firm domestic rice prices.
