Mexico’s agriculture secretary urged food-industry companies to honor an agreement to cut corn imports and make advance purchases from domestic producers. The digest also reported that Mexico imported 19.5 million tonnes of corn from January through September, up 25.8% year over year, and cited a forecast of record imports of 25.7 million tonnes for the year.
A reduction in imports paired with advance domestic purchases could shift demand toward Mexican corn and away from foreign suppliers. The reported import volumes indicate substantial import demand, so any effect depends on whether the agreement is enforced.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
