# Corn: Mexico Could Buy 26 Million Metric Tons Abroad in 2026

> Juan Carlos Anaya, CEO of Grupo Consultor de Mercados Agrícolas, estimates Mexico will import around 26 million metric tons of corn in 2026. That is above the 22.7 million tons he expects Mexico to produce, with production down 16% since 2018. He links the decline to weak policy support, rising costs and price unpredictability.
