About Maize (Makka/Corn) — India's Third-Largest Food Grain

India produces 33–36 million tonnes of maize annually, primarily as a Kharif crop (June–October). Maize is used for animal feed (60%), poultry feed, starch, ethanol, and food (corn flour, popcorn, cornflakes). India is a major maize exporter to Bangladesh, Nepal, Vietnam, and South Korea.

Major producing states: Karnataka (21%), Madhya Pradesh (14%), Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh. The Davangere-Haveri belt in Karnataka is India's "Maize Belt". Bihar is the largest winter-maize producer.

Price drivers: Poultry and animal feed demand, ethanol blending policy, export demand, and kharif arrivals. Maize MSP for 2024-25 is ₹2,090/quintal. Prices often track global corn prices due to India's export-import dynamics.

Factors Affecting Maize Prices

Season & Monsoon
Rainfall affects crop yield and arrival volumes. Post-harvest season usually brings lower prices.
Supply & Demand
Higher arrivals push prices down; lower supply or festival demand drives prices up.
Transportation
Fuel prices and road conditions affect the cost of moving produce to mandis.
Export Demand
International demand, especially from neighbouring countries, significantly impacts wholesale rates.
