The Government of Mexico Increases Corn Yield

According to the El Financiero, Julio Villalobos, the Agriculture Secretary of Mexico said in “2020 Agriculture Forum of El Financiero” said Mexico is both the place of origin and the consumption power of corns, and large amount of import is required since domestic market demands could not be satisfied by local corn output. Therefore, the Government of Mexico will launch the “Corn Strategic Plan of Mexico” (Maiz por Mexico) to enhance corn production support and help yield increase from aspects of technology, fund, processing and production. In order to increase corn yield, the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development of Mexico deployed strategic plantation land to meet demands of central Mexico for corns. The lands are mainly distributed in Chiapas, Yucatan, Tamaulipas and central valley area.
