World corn production continues to show strong growth and is expected to reach an impressive 1.05 billion tonnes. This forecast is the result of the efforts of agricultural producers and factors influencing the development of this crop.

Corn is one of the most important grain crops used in the food, feed and industrial sectors. High yields and adaptability to various climatic conditions make corn the preferred choice for agriculture in many countries.

One of the factors contributing to the growth of corn production is the constant improvement of agricultural technologies. The introduction of modern tillage methods, the use of genetically modified varieties and the optimization of irrigation systems allow increasing yields and ensuring stable production of corn.

In addition, the growing demand for corn in various industries, including food processing, feed production and biofuels, contributes to the expansion of its production.
