Run for the Border, U.S Crops to Mexico

U.S. crop exports, particularly wheat, are important to Mexico, which is the largest buyer of U.S. wheat and corn. While there has been a steady increase in exports, trade has encountered significant issues over the past two years, including delays caused by migrant movement, sanitary regulations, and border disruptions. Rail transportation plays a crucial role in delivering U.S. wheat to Mexico, with most shipments entering through Texas. However, Mexican millers have reported increased rail delays, prompting some to seek alternative suppliers or use ocean shipping to bypass the land border. U.S. Wheat Associates has been working to address these challenges and maintain the flow of wheat exports to Mexico, emphasizing the need for collaboration across the supply chain to improve border logistics and ensure timely delivery.
