An ag economist says organic corn imports this year are expected to be the lowest in eight years.
Ryan Koory with Mercaris tells Brownfield organic corn imports since the 2016/2017 marketing year have dropped by about 25 percent and are expected to total 17 percent of total demand for the 2020/2021 marketing year.
“We’re beginning to enter a phase in the U.S. organic corn market where we’re really become self-sufficient in terms of domestic production,” he says.
