Mexico: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
High international commodity prices and government programs incentivizing small growers to produce basic grains are boosting Mexico’s total grain production, particularly of rice and wheat. Feed grain demand is expected to continue growing in 2021 for use in the livestock and poultry sectors, although demand for grain for human consumption is forecast to grow more slowly as the Mexican economy recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In late 2020, Mexico published a decree that calls for a transition away from the use of the use of glyphosate and genetically-engineered corn for human consumption by January 31, 2024. To date, no concrete details have been given regarding timelines for implementation or the extent to which this decree will impact Mexico’s corn imports.
