Corn, a grain from the cereal family, is primarily cultivated as animal feed. It is also a key ingredient in the production of various products such as corn flour, corn flakes, and corn syrup. Corn thrives in regions with high humidity and flourishes during hot and sunny periods of the year. Originally believed to have its roots in the Americas, corn was introduced to Turkey in the 1600s from Egypt, earning the name "Egyptian Wheat." Over time, it became known simply as corn. In Turkey, it is predominantly grown in the Eastern Black Sea region and can reach heights of up to 4 meters.
Global corn production stands at approximately 1.1 billion tons annually, with the United States and China accounting for over half of the total. Brazil follows with around 80 million tons, while EU countries collectively produce 65 million tons. Other major producers include Ukraine (30 million tons), Argentina (25 million tons), India (24 million tons), Mexico (22 million tons), South Africa and Canada (14 million tons each), and Russia (11 million tons). Turkey ranks 24th globally in corn production. The United States is the largest exporter of corn and also leads in consumption, utilising 302 million tons annually.
In Turkey, around 6 million tons of corn is produced each year, while an additional 2.5 million tons is imported to meet demand. The provinces of Konya (19%), Adana (15%), Mardin (8%), Osmaniye (6%), Karaman (5%), Sakarya (5%), Manisa (5%), �?anl�±urfa (4%), Diyarbak�±r (4%), and Kahramanmara�? (4%) contribute 75% of the nationâ??s total corn production.
