Guatemala: Grain and Feed Annual
Guatemala continues to be a net importer of both yellow corn and rice. Corn area and production in MY2024/2025 are forecast to slightly increase to keep up with increased consumption for both food and feed; the avian sector keeps steady growth at 3-4 percent annually. Rice is forecast to increase 4 per cent and harvest area and production have been revised up based on the latest survey carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture to include subsistence farming in addition to the commercial production. Fertilization costs have decreased, except for urea, but labor costs continue increasing due to growing migration. The United States loses market share in both grains due to more competitive prices in South America, via WTO quota openings by the Ministry of Economy.
