# WEEKLY TOPIC: Is Mexican Corn Trapped With No Way Out Again?

> Mexican white-corn growers said the government’s announced support price of 5,100 pesos per tonne would not cover production costs, which they estimated would require returns of about 7,000 pesos. Some growers also reported uncertainty over sales and subsidies, with unsold corn from the 2025 crop still in the market.

## Why it matters

Unsold old-crop supplies and support levels below growers’ stated costs could keep pressure on domestic corn prices and farm selling incentives. The article does not describe a change in national supply or demand large enough to imply a major price move.
