Maize, commonly known as corn, is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. It is used for food, feed, and industrial purposes. The global demand for maize has been steadily increasing due to population growth and the rising consumption of animal protein. The price of maize grain is influenced by several factors, including supply and demand, weather conditions, government policies, and import and export tariffs.
In recent years, the price of maize grain has been volatile, with sharp fluctuations caused by supply and demand imbalances, currency fluctuations, and geopolitical events. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on maize prices, with disruptions to supply chains and falling demand from the ethanol industry.
As of September 2021, the average price of maize grain in the United States, the world's largest producer and exporter of maize, is around $5.75 per bushel (56 pounds). This is up from a low of $2.82 in April 2020 but down from a high of $7.48 in May 2021. The price of maize in other countries varies depending on local supply and demand conditions. For example, in Brazil, the second-largest producer of maize after the US, the average price as of September 2021 is around $6.00 per bushel, while in South Africa, a major maize exporter to other African countries, the price is around $7.00 per bushel.
One of the main drivers of maize prices is the demand for animal feed. Maize is a key ingredient in livestock feed, and the growing demand for meat and dairy products has put pressure on maize supplies. In addition, the ethanol industry has become a major consumer of maize in recent years, with around 40% of US maize production used for biofuel production.
Weather conditions also play a significant role in maize prices. Drought, floods, and other extreme weather events can cause crop failures and reduce yields, leading to higher prices. For example, in 2012, a severe drought in the US Midwest led to a spike in maize prices to over $8 per bushel.
Government policies and import and export tariffs can also affect maize prices. For example, in China, the government heavily subsidizes maize production and sets import tariffs to protect domestic farmers, which has led to higher prices for imported maize. In the US, the government provides subsidies to maize farmers, which can help stabilize prices during periods of low demand.
In summary, the price of maize grain is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand, weather conditions, government policies, and import and export tariffs. While maize prices can be volatile, they tend to follow long-term trends driven by changes in demand and supply. As the global population continues to grow and demand for meat and dairy products increases, the demand for maize is likely to remain strong, putting pressure on supplies and prices.

In 2022, wheat price growth is forecast to slow down with sufficient global production and falling demand for feed grains in the U.S. and the EU. Global wheat output is set to remain at the 2021’s level of approx. 777M tons.
The average annual wheat price in the U.S. is forecast to drop by 2% y-o-y to $250 per ton in 2022, falling on reduced domestic consumption coupled with stable supply worldwide. The market balance will be buoyed by production gains in Argentina and the EU that will offset decreasing output in Brazil and Paraguay.
This year, harvests in the EU, the U.S., the UK, Argentina, Morocco and Ukraine are expected to increase, leading to a growth in wheat production. Even though global stockpiles of grains will remain high, there are boosted expectations for inflation due to forecasts of record demand and increased prices for other cereal grains. The rising global population and bioethanol production are key factors leading to this growth in demand for wheat. Another driving factor is the emerging trend in the EU to use more wheat in animal feed rather than barley.
Global wheat production will reach 758.3 million tons in 2020, showing a slight decrease of 0.5 percent over the previous year's highs and still at a fairly high level.
Global wheat consumption amounted to X thousand tons in 2015, remaining constant against the previous year level.
In 2015, the countries with the highest levels of production were China (X thousand tons), India (X thousand tons), Russia (X thousand tons), together accounting for X% of total output.
The U.S. dominates in the global wheat trade. In 2014, the U.S. exported X thousand tons of wheat totaling X million USD, X% under the previous year. Its primary trading partner was Japan, where it supplied X% of its total wheat exports in
