Diverse Export Opportunities for U.S. Agricultural Trade with Mexico

The Mexican market offers continued opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and food processors to further expand sales across the agricultural spectrum. Mexico is a top market for primary U.S. grains and oilseeds, as well as consumer-oriented groceries. An expanding population, coupled with continued economic growth and geographic proximity, makes Mexico an attractive market for U.S. food and agricultural producers.  

U.S. Agricultural Exports to Mexico

Mexico was the top market for U.S. agricultural exports in 2024, with shipments valued at $30.2 billion. Consumer-oriented products, including meat and meat products, dairy, processed food, fruits, and beverages, constituted nearly 50 percent of that trade with a value of $14.6 billion. Bulk commodity exports to Mexico accounted for one-third of all agricultural shipments, valued at $10.0 billion, led by corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, and pulses. Intermediate product exports, such as sweeteners, soybean meal, distillers grains, and planting seeds, accounted for the remainder and were valued at $5.6 billion.

Brazil: Cultivating Growth- The State of Sorghum Production in Brazil

Sorghum cultivation is widely adapted to the climate and soil conditions of various regions in Brazil, making it appealing during seasons marked by delays in soybean planting and harvesting, reinforcing its position as a key crop in Brazilian agribusiness. The planted area and production have been increasing with each harvest, propelling Brazil to become the world's third-largest sorghum producer. In the coming years, the expansion of sorghum production is anticipated as producers explore alternative uses, enhance its application in animal feed, and establish new export agreements with foreign markets.

Malaysia: Oilseeds and Products Update

Based on strong production in April and May 2025, combined with a slight revision in area harvested methodology, Post revises production and area harvested estimates for Market Year (MY) 2024/25 and MY 2025/26 higher than previous projections for palm complexes. With increased price competitiveness since the price peak in December, Post increases projections in exports, while also raising imports for MY 2024/25 based on new data. The soybean imports estimate for MY 2024/25 is revised upwards on current data as strong import figures from the United States in April and May, as beans were likely shifted to Malaysia during tariff changes in the Asia region, while import estimates for MY 2025/26 are lowered from previous estimates as U.S. soybean supply in the world market is expected to decrease and the complex returns to being a price-premium compared to competitor oilseeds.

Kazakhstan: Grain and Feed Update

Kazakhstan’s MY 2025/26 wheat production is forecast to contract from the prior year’s record, mainly because farmers switched to growing more profitable oilseeds, especially sunflowers. The production of wheat as well as barley is also down year-to-year because of economic pressures, making it difficult for farmers to purchase on-farm inputs. With reduced grain production volumes, exports of wheat and barley are projected to be lower than the previous year. Meantime, owing to the plentiful MY 2024/25 grain crop and the government’s transportation subsidy, wheat and barley exports are expected to reach at or near record levels during this period.
