Corn Global Market Supply Currently Estimated at 1133.7 Million MT, Says Beroe Inc - Seite 2

Key Findings:

• Animal feed and ethanol producers procure a large volume of corn, therefore, the contract length is ideally 3–6 months. Pharmaceutical and food producers normally procure small amounts of corn, with contract lengths of 1–3-months.
• Corn milling is basically consolidated by global suppliers, accounting for nearly 70 percent of corn and corn derivatives. Around 30 percent of the market is constituted by regional suppliers, especially from China.
• The starch derivative market is rapidly growing, due to technological advancements in the industry and increased demand. The major players in this market include global suppliers ADM, Cargill, Ingredion, Tate & Lyle, and Roquette.
• LATAM countries have traditionally been competitors of the US for exports, but due to the US-China trade war and competitive price, LATAM share in the export market is expected to increase in the future. 
• Research on corn seeds breeding programs focus on corn hybrids, with better resistance to diseases and stacked varieties combine multiple traits to confer pest, weed, and disease resistance.

The research methodology adopted for the report included:

• Experts with twenty years of domain experience
• Interaction with buyers
• Inputs from supply chain partners

The CBOT price is the global benchmark for international trade of corn and to this price, transport price and basis are added to arrive at the final price. Prices could trend upward by approximately 0-2 percent, owing to the unfavorable climatic condition during the planting season. A cost-saving of approximately 2-4 percent is possible with 3–6 months contracts as compared to spot buying.
