The price of corn tortillas, other corn-based products may increase this summer

Monday, May 3, 2021
If you like tacos, enchiladas and taquitos, or any dish made with corn tortillas, you may be paying more for it soon.

Analysts say higher prices are likely coming this summer for corn-based products, like tortillas, because of a surge in grain prices.

The price of corn has risen by more than 30% in 2021, its highest price in nearly eight years, according to MarketWatch.

Retailers are expected to absorb the initial increase, but consumers may notice the rise in prices later this summer.
