Mexico's deputy economy minister confirmed talks with Argentina and Brazil to create duty-free corn import arrangements. Mexico currently sources about 98% of its corn from the US, which exports more than $2.5 billion of corn there annually.
Brazil produced 91.5 million tons of corn in 2016 and exports a third of it.
Duty-free South American corn would directly compete with US supplies in Mexico's market, threatening US export volumes and prices.
