Corn (Zea Mays) is one of the most important carbohydrate-producing food crops in the world, besides wheat and rice. For residents of Central and South America, corn is a staple food, as is for some people in Africa and some areas in Indonesia.
Corn is not native to Indonesia, the theory that is currently developing is that corn was first domesticated by the inhabitants of the Tehuacan valley, Mexico. The Olmecs and Mayans are known to have cultivated throughout Central America since 10,000 years ago and were familiar with various yield processing techniques. This technology was brought to South America (Ecuador) about 7,000 years ago, and reached the mountainous regions of southern Peru 4,000 years ago. It was during this period that maize developed which adapted to low temperatures in the Andes Mountains region. Since 2500 BC, this plant has been known in various parts of the Americas. The era of the arrival of Europeans at the end of the 15th century, apparently brought with it types of corn to the Old World, both to Europe and Asia. The odyssey of maize to Asia was accelerated by the opening of the western route spearheaded by the fleet led by Ferdinand Magellan across the Pacific Ocean. In these new places, maize is relatively easy to adapt because this plant has a high elasticity of phenotype.
