Earlier Report Observations

The maize bran, sharps and residues market in Mexico expanded from 1 461 thousand tons in 2018 to 1 645 thousand tons in 2019. This initial growth was underpinned by the persistent influence of state-owned enterprises in the corn sector and continuous regulatory frameworks focused on market protection and food security, which provided a stable foundation for production.

After reaching 1 659 thousand tons in 2020, the market volume saw a slight stabilization. From 2021, increased valorization of agro-industrial residues, including maize by-products, gained prominence as part of circular economy and sustainable development efforts. This encouraged more comprehensive utilization in animal feed and industrial applications, supporting market stability and setting the stage for renewed growth.

In 2023, the market volume rose to 1 708 thousand tons, reflecting the cumulative impact of residue valorization strategies and the regulatory promotion of circular economy principles, which enhanced demand across various sectors.
