The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reported that the global corn market has been rising almost continuously since July due to concerns about supply and deteriorating crop conditions in the United States. The United States is the world’s largest corn consumer and exporter.

US maize export prices (U.S. second-class yellow maize) averaged US $ 115 / tonne in September, up US $ 23 / tonne from June prices and up US $ 25 / tonne over the same period of last year.
