Mexico’s agriculture secretary, Columba López Gutiérrez, accused food-sector companies of failing to meet May 20 commitments to reduce corn imports and sign advance purchase contracts with domestic producers. She said imports were limiting marketing opportunities for Mexican farmers and urged companies to honor the agreements.
If processors reduce imports and buy more domestically, demand for imported corn could weaken while demand and price support for Mexican-grown corn increase. The remarks describe pressure to comply, not a confirmed restriction on trade.
