Mexico: Oilseeds and Products Annual
Post expects slower growth in the vegetable oil and oil meal sectors in MY 2018/19, given potential declines in consumer purchasing power and general economic uncertainty. Mexican oilseed crushers are expected to continue increasing oil production to keep up with population growth and meal demand from the growing livestock sector, but there should be no expansion in production capacity. Mexico remains very dependent on imported oilseeds and oilseed products, primarily soy from the United States and rapeseed (canola) from Canada.
