Corn Supply and Demand, NOT Ethanol

Comment comment by gheorghe on 20 February 2007

Funny how news are often twisted around. The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) report that lower corn production in Mexico and the lack of import licenses have caused white corn shortages there.

See press releases here, and here.

RE: Corn Supply and Demand, NOT Ethanol by Bortnyk :: NR6

I couldn't find a link to it, but the El Paso/ Chihuahua radio station 99.1 has been airing Mexico Acts comercials. The long and short is that they have created distribution stations where you can buy a kilo of tortilla for 3.5 pesos. They have also created a hotline to report tortilla pricing abuse. Mexico cares about its poorest citizens and its economy.
