Mexican Animal Producers Value U.S. Sorghum as Feed, but Logistics and Policy Support Remain a Challenge

The United States leads the global sorghum market, exporting $2.08 billion worth of sorghum in 2021, primarily to China and Mexico (Observatory of Economic Complexity, 2023). In contrast, Mexico faces significant challenges in grain production, including reduced economic support for grain producers (Einstein-Curtis, 2020) and drought conditions in key production areas (Juarez, 2021), which have increased Mexico’s reliance on grain imports to meet local demand.
