Corn
Corn is a key commodity in the Americas, Canada, and Europe, grown primarily for animal feed, food products, and ethanol. The United States is a top producer, especially of yellow dent corn in the Corn Belt (Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska), contributing significantly to global exports. Canada grows corn mainly in Ontario and Quebec, primarily for feed and food-grade use. In Europe, countries like France, Romania, and Italy produce corn mainly for animal feed, with restrictions on GM varieties in the EU. Corn’s versatility makes it essential in food, fuel, and feed industries across these regions.
