# Mexico to reach record corn imports of 25.7 million tonnes in 2026: GCMA

> Mexico is projected to import a record 25.7 million tonnes of corn in 2026, according to Juan Carlos Anaya, director of the Grupo Consultor de Mercados Agrícolas. He attributed rising import dependence to a 16.5% cumulative decline in domestic production since 2018 and said imports would cover about 53% of domestic consumption.
