Wheat production for Marketing Year (MY) 2019/20 is revised upward based on favorable weather conditions and water supplies in Mexico's main producing state. Although wheat consumption decreased as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, exports are expected to increase in MY 2020/21. Corn production and harvested area estimates for MY 2020/21 remain unchanged although production figures for MY 2018/19 and MY 2019/20 are revised upward. Corn imports for MY 2019/20 decreased due to greater domestic production. Production and harvested areas estimates for both sorghum and rice are revised upward for MY 2019/20. Mexico extended the authorization to import Uruguayan rice into Mexico until November 24, 2020.
