Maize (Corn)

Maize, commonly known as corn, is one of the world's most important cereal crops and a key commodity in global trade. India is a major producer, growing it across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Telangana. Indian maize commands consistent export demand for poultry and livestock feed, starch extraction, corn flour, and industrial processing from manufacturers and food processors internationally.

Available in Yellow Maize and White Maize, our maize is cleaned, sorted, and graded to meet buyer specifications for moisture, admixture, and broken grain content.

FAQs

What maize varieties do you export?

We export Yellow Maize and White Maize. Yellow maize is most widely traded for poultry and livestock feed; white maize is preferred in certain food processing and human consumption markets in Africa.

What are the typical specifications for feed-grade maize?

Feed-grade yellow maize typically requires moisture max 14%, admixture max 2%, broken grain max 3%, and must be free from visible fungal damage. Aflatoxin levels are tested and can be provided on request.

Can maize be supplied in bulk (loose container loads)?

Yes, maize can be supplied bulk-loaded directly into containers for buyers who prefer this over bagged delivery. Please specify your preference when requesting a quote.

What certifications and documentation do you provide?

We provide phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, aflatoxin test reports, fumigation certificates, and complete shipping documentation for every consignment.

When is Indian maize harvested?

India has two maize seasons - the Kharif crop (Oct - Dec harvest) which is the primary season, and the Rabi crop (Mar - May harvest) in certain states. This supports broad annual supply availability.
