While global corn production declined last year due to climatic conditions in Argentina and delayed second-season crop planting in Brazil, the advent of 2025 brings an anticipated increase in corn output. This is driven by expanded harvest areas in Argentina [1] and a bumper second-season corn crop in Brazil [2].

For the 2025/2026 marketing year, global corn production is projected to reach 1.277 billion metric tons, a 3 million metric ton upward revision from previous forecasts [2]. However, corn consumption has not decreased; demand from the feed and industrial sectors continues to grow, maintaining significant pressure on corn inventories. Corn stocks are expected to decrease by 1.37 million metric tons month-over-month, settling at 289 million metric tons[1].

Consequently, the corn processing industry is supposed to have substantial growth in 2025 and 2026.

Our company, Beijing Liretec Technology Development Co., LTD., offer starch processing production lines that can be used to process raw corn. The process involves cleaning, grinding, germ extraction, refining, drying, and packaging, transforming raw corn into packaged commercial starch. This also yields valuable by-products such as corn germ, fiber, and protein, which can be used in the production of corn germ oil, animal feed, and other products.

China's machinery manufacturing industry has been at the forefront globally. With advanced technology and self-owned patents, our company will provide fully automated corn processing production lines for customers worldwide, along with comprehensive operator training and after-sales service.

Port inventories continue to decline, and import costs support prices, which are expected to remain firm in the short term. Related corn starch prices are also bullish due to rebounding raw material costs and strong supply-demand performance.
