Maize, or corn, is one of the most important cereal crops in the world, and one of the most versatile agricultural commodities available. The grain can be eaten fresh off the cob, roasted and salted, popped with butter and syrup, dried into cornflakes, or made into powder that becomes corn starch or corn syrup depending on how much water you evaporate from it. This handbook will cover all aspects of maize processing and maize product manufacture – from growing and harvesting to drying, processing and quality control – to ensure that your products are safe and sellable in marketplaces around the world.

In India, maize is becoming third most significant crop. Its significance stems from the fact that it is utilised not only for human food and animal feed, but also for corn starch manufacturing, corn oil production, and the generation of baby corns. Additionally, maize stover, the leaves and stalk of the maize plant, is used for forage, biofuel production, and chemical production.

Corn is also processed into a multitude of food and industrial products including:-

Market Demand

The global maize market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8%. The factors that affect the demand for starch mainly include population growth and industrial development of a country; specifically the food and beverage, textiles, paper and printing, pharmaceuticals and other health and beauty products, and adhesives.

The demand for high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) sweeteners across the country is majorly due to its wide usage in the confectionery, bakery, and beverage industries, especially soft drink manufacturing. Rising health awareness among consumers has resulted into increasing preference for corn oil due to its health benefits. More ethanol production means more demand for corn. According to the most recent statistics released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 35%, or 5.25 billion bushels, of the projected 15.062 billion bushels of corn harvested will be processed into ethanol.
