Mexico’s agriculture secretary, Columba López, said food-industry companies had not honored commitments to reduce corn imports or sign advance purchase contracts with domestic producers. She urged companies to follow the agreement, saying lower imports would create more opportunities for Mexican farmers; the government says it has allocated 8 billion pesos to support producers over the past five months.
If buyers reduce imports and increase advance purchases from Mexican farmers, domestic demand and prices could strengthen, while demand for imported corn could weaken. The effect depends on whether the commitments are enforced and observed.
