At the beginning of the clip, the agronomy expert explained: “Production costs are between 55 and 60,000 pesos per hectare, in their own land, if they are rented, put an average rent of 15,000 pesos, they are between 70 and 75 000 pesos”.
He later explained his cost per ton: “It is removed from the Chicago Stock Exchange according to the world supply and demand of yellow corn, not white yellow. Because? Who knows? I don’t know who came up with the idea based on what the stock market says because of the exchange rate, which is also very cheap and doesn’t help at all.”
In the same way its price is assigned for example: “It goes on average between 5,500 and 5,700 a ton, in that it is moving. If we put an average of 5,600 per ton we need 11 T to be able to cover our costs in owned and rented land 13 so you can check.”
So compare the base price that is assigned to that of the land where it is cultivated: “The Sinaloa averages are between 10 and 11, yes, we have very good land, but we also have bad land, so this year would be for if not It is good to cover costs, but the most favorable thing is to lose money. The scheme where the prices of our grains are obtained has to change“.
Therefore, he explained that the production is in Mexico, both the quality and the consumption, which would not be found elsewhere, finally the creator of the content explained: “We are not saturating the market, that is, what is produced is consumed here, that we use world supply and demand as a reference, that is another ticket, nothing to see and it is also yellow. So there have to be fair prices for what we Mexicans produce.”
