Overview
- SADER announced reference bases for the Primavera–Verano 2025 cycle: a standardized consumption base of $143 per ton, a regional maximum base of $38, and a guaranteed minimum of $105.
- A jointly financed support payment of 950 pesos per ton from the federal government and Bajío states will supplement the dollar-denominated bases.
- All purchase-sale contracts must use the March 2026 corn futures contract as the price reference to provide planning certainty and reduce price volatility.
- The government says the package constitutes the highest white-corn commercialization base in a decade and is intended to ensure domestic milling and nixtamal industries absorb national supply.
- GCMA estimates producers would receive about 5,195.38 pesos per ton from the base plus the 950-peso support for roughly 6,138.48 pesos per ton, and officials signaled work on a formal market-ordering system to follow.
