Ecuador: Grain and Feed Annual
As Ecuador’s economy recovers and domestic corn prices remain high, consumption of wheat and rice increased in 2017/18. Ecuador is forecast to import a record level of wheat in 2018/19. Rice imports will decrease as domestic production has recovered from low yields in 2016/17. Yellow corn production in 2018/19 is forecast to decrease due to uncertainties in domestic agricultural policy and prices. Feed manufacturers continue the use of corn substitutes in animal diets.
