In Mexico, World Grain reported that stronger demand and rising prices will drive increased production of corn, rice and sorghum in Mexico, while prolonged drought and weaker price expectations will lower wheat production in 2025-26, according to a report from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the US Department of Agriculture.
The report noted that grain demand in 2025-26 will likely remain strong, supported by population growth and continued expansion in the cattle, swine, and poultry sectors. In the first quarter of 2025, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reported a 6.7% expansion in Mexico’s agricultural sector, reflecting rising feed demand.
Mexico’s corn production is forecast to increase by 7% to 24.5 million tons, driven by higher expected local prices for white corn and reduced domestic white corn stocks.
