This crop commands its multifarious usages that range from feed and residual, sweeteners, starch to DDGs/CGF, fuel ethanol, HFCS, among others. Regions that exhibit a high consumption of meat will create an exponential demand for corn as it is essentially used as a livestock feed. These factors will have a cumulative impact on spend growth in the global corn market.
In terms of regional spend growth, the Americas will contribute a major share with North America taking the lead. Factors such as fertile soil, entrepreneurial farmers, availability of water and land, and efficient infrastructure will favor the cultivation of this crop. The US currently holds the rank of the largest corn producer in the region. To boost production, corn suppliers in South America leverage new techniques and technologies to bring unusable and barren lands into productivity. The high consumption of meat in this region will also drive the demand in the corn market.

Insights into the market pricing trends
- Hostile meteorological factors have resulted in a dip in crop production and herald uncertainty in the supply of this crop. This will result in extreme volatility in the corn price during the forecast period.
- As corn is a listed commodity, its price varies daily based on the index. This makes it difficult for buyers to predict future prices of agricultural commodities such as corn. Predicting price for beyond three months is extremely challenging, thus resulting in the lack of information on future corn prices.
