| dc.description.abstract | Maize is an important staple food in many countries and the productionof maize in the world have been increasing steadily. Maize has a wide variety of usages, ranging from food and feed to industrial products, and more recently, as an alternate fuel. The areaplanted with maize is continuously increasing over the years. During 2009-2010 global maize production was 817 million tons,and in2011-2012, global maize production reached its high of 873 million tones.The variations in productivity are due to many factors, including weather pattern during the crop growth, pests and diseases, technological practices andimproved hybridvarieties planted by growers. The global supply and demand of maize is influenced mainly by the US, which has the largest harvested area and the highest grain production. China, Brazil, Mexico, Indiaand Indonesiacontribute significantly to the world harvested area. These six countries contributemore than70% of theworld corn production. The global maize demands are influenced by the major usage patternsin the US, namely for edible oil, feed, and for ethanol production. Biofuels derived from maize grain had gainedinterest worldwide, due to the concern over unrenewable fossil source energy. Ethanol accounted for over 6% share in the USenergy consumption in 2000-2001 and rose to over 40% in 2011-2012. On the other hand, the share for feed was declining. The diversion of maize usage from food and feed to ethanol production would then pushed price higher. | |
