Mexico: Grain and Feed Update
Mexico’s wheat production in MY 2019/20 is revised upward, based on favorable weather conditions and plentiful water reservoirs in Sonora, the main producer state. However, wheat consumption and imports will decrease as a result of the sluggish Mexican economy and higher domestic production. Corn production for MY2018/19 is increased because of additional area harvested and favorable weather conditions, with the greater production also lowering corn imports. Production of sorghum is decreased while rice production estimates remain unchanged.
