Mexico is expected to import a record 25.7 million tonnes of white and yellow corn this year, according to Grupo Consultor de Mercados Agrícolas. The group attributes import dependence to changes in domestic consumption, technology and prices; it says corn production has fallen by nearly 5 million tonnes since 2018 and planted area is down by one million hectares this year.
Record imports alongside high livestock-sector corn use point to strong Mexican demand for imported feed grain, supporting export prospects for suppliers such as the United States. Lower domestic output also leaves Mexico more exposed to global corn prices.
