The world's highest-volume grain

Loading corn data…

More corn is grown each year than any other grain on Earth — and its trade volume is close behind wheat's, second among all food crops. Unlike wheat, corn's biggest grower is also its biggest processor: the United States turns a huge share of its own harvest into ethanol fuel and corn syrup domestically, rather than exporting it raw. Production by country and the world's biggest exporters, each in tonnes. Sourced from USDA. No live price feed yet — tonnes, not dollars, is the number that actually matters here.
