Mexico's Agriculture Secretariat urged the industrial sector to buy more domestic corn and sign forward contracts to give producers certainty. Price hedges covering 1.775 million tonnes have been arranged with the Finance Ministry and FIRA, and the package is projected to cut production costs by 14.8%.
Government efforts to shift industrial demand toward domestic corn could reduce Mexican imports over time, which would weigh modestly on US corn export demand, while price hedges support domestic supply.
After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
