Mexican Corn Imports Expected to Drop About 9% in 2021; U.S. is Nation’s Top Supplier
Mexico City — As Mexico discourages the use of genetically modified grains and boost its local crop, the nation’s corn imports could fall about 9% in 2021, athe agriculture ministry said on Tuesday in a Reuters report.
Agriculture Minister Victor Villalobos made what he said was a preliminary forecast at a news conference. Speaking alongside him, Santiago Argüello, a senior ministry official, said that would amount to a drop of about 1.5 million tonnes of grain.
The bulk of Mexico’s corn imports come from the United States, its top trade partner. In the year through November, Mexico had imported 13 million tonnes from the United States.
