Mexico: Grain and Feed Update

Forecasted corn production for Marketing Year (MY) 2020/21 is reduced slightly to 27.8 million metric tons (MMT), based on the most recent official data. Production and harvested area for sorghum in MY 2020/21 were revised slightly upward on official data. On December 31, 2020, Mexico published a decree that calls for a phase-out of use of both glyphosate and genetically modified (GE) corn for human consumption in Mexico. However, to date Mexico has not provided details regarding the definition of human consumption and what, if any, corn-derived products might be affected. On November 24, 2020, Mexican phytosanitary authorities announced a long-term authorization for imports of Uruguayan rice into Mexico.
