Mexico Market for Grain Sorghum

High demand for grain sorghum production has proven to be a positive phenomenon for Mexico and the climatic state of affairs in the U.S. will help strengthen the trade relationship between the U.S. and Mexico.


Mexico purchases around 78 million bushels of sorghum from the United States each year, usually in the Rio Grande Valley area. The manager of International Operations for the U.S. Grains Council, Kevin Roepke stated, “Mexico is the predominant price driver for U.S. sorghum.” He went on to say, “In any given year, Mexico alone accounts for roughly 25 percent to 30 percent of U.S. sorghum exports.”
