As per the USDA Grain and Feed Annual report published in March 2022, Mexico continues to be a major importer of basic grains. The United States is expected to remain Mexico’s principal supplier due to logistical advantages coupled with existing business relationship benefits. Furthermore, feed consumption of wheat is expected to continue to decline, owing to the relatively higher cost of wheat than alternatives such as corn. Increases in corn for feed consumption are largely explained by the changes in diet patterns and increased income and expenditure by the population on animal proteins. At higher consumer incomes, expenditures on cereals and basic crops tend to decrease, while the expenditure on the consumption of poultry, pork, and beef meats, milk, and eggs increases. For feed consumption, corn grain is fed to livestock and poultry in its original form either by itself or in combination with supplements in compound feed. The animal feed industry is expected to grow marginally in 2020, the poultry sector continues to be the major user of feed grains in Mexico, which is mainly corn.

Furthermore, the Mexican poultry industry grew significantly in 2019 and this trend is expected to continue in 2020 as per the National Union of Poultry Farmers (UNA). Moreover, feed represents a notable share of the total cost of the production of broiler meat. Chicken meat and egg consumption are also increasing, due to being affordable in an increasingly price-sensitive market. Also, these sources of protein are increasingly being considered viable and healthy alternatives to beef and pork. Livestock production in Mexico continues to grow because of the vertical integration of farms coupled with better biosecurity measures. In 2019, Mexican livestock exports achieved a new record, with the United States as its main trading partner. Furthermore, beef exports are also expected to increase in Mexico, especially to Asian markets where high-labor, added-value meat products command a price premium. Additionally, the domestic pork industry also continues to grow owing to the consumer preference for more affordable animal proteins. Therefore, with such aforementioned factors that are conducive to Mexico’s animal feed market expansion, it will this market is expected to witness healthy growth during the forecast period.
