Maize

Redirecting animal feed manufacturers to utilize yellow maize is expected to decrease the pressure on white maize supplies.

The maize shortage is driving up costs, affecting both consumers and the livestock sector.

The price drop has been fueled by the influx of freshly harvested maize, with new stock entering the market at US$ 28.82 to US$ 34.58 per 50kg bag.

The project aims to improve data management and optimize the supply chain, ensuring better coordination between collection centers and government agencies.

The USDA report also forecasts a 6% rise in maize consumption, reaching 4.4 million metric tons.
