The director of Mexican Food Security (Segalmex), Leonel Cota Montaño, announced today in Los Mochis that the guarantee price for white corn for the 2023 harvest will be 6,970 pesos per ton.
In addition, it will have some support that could slightly increase the price, but in no way will it be less than the six thousand 800 pesos per ton that was set for the previous harvest.
The operating rules for marketing support have yet to be defined and Cota Montaño asked producers and industrialists to accept and comply with them.
In Sinaloa, 10 collection centers will be opened for the purchase of the white corn crop.
“We are going to face the issue responsibly and with a sense of serving the producers,” he said during the symbolic delivery of granulated fertilizers to small and medium-sized producers held in the surroundings of the Flor Azul ejido, where dozens of sacks of urea and diammonium phosphate that are essential for the fertilization of basic grains such as corn, beans, wheat and sorghum, added the director of Segalmex.
Small producers will receive 300 kilos of fertilizers per hectare up to an area of 10 hectares for an effective subsidy of 145,000 to 45,000 pesos, appraised at current value.
