Maize (corn) Production by Country (2026)
For maize production by country, 2018-2024 FAO data combined with 2026 forecasts across 163 territories reveals global trends. The world’s maize harvest reached approximately 1.22 billion tonnes in 2024, with the United States as the leading maize producer. The dataset traces production shifts from the American Corn Belt to emerging growers across Africa and Eastern Europe.
Key Takeaways
- United States led global maize output in 2024 with 377,632,690 tonnes, accounting for 31.0% of listed production.
- China ranked second at 294,920,000 tonnes, while Brazil held third with 114,953,303 tonnes.
- Brazil recorded a 39.6% production increase from 2018 to 2024, the fastest growth among the top ten producers.
- Dataset covers 163 territories using 2018-2024 FAO data alongside modeled 2026 projections.
US-China-Brazil Lead a Concentrated Global Market
Listed 2024 maize production reached about 1,217,837,836 tonnes worldwide. The United States accounted for 31.0% of that total with 377,632,690 tonnes, followed by China at 294,920,000 tonnes and Brazil at 114,953,303 tonnes. The top three producers together supplied about 64.7% of the global total, a concentration similar to that of soybeans but lower than the concentration in rice.
The map highlights the geographic spread of maize cultivation, with the full country ranking in the table below.
Maize Production by Country (2024 FAO Data)
Brazil Surges and Argentina Rebounds in the Americas
Brazil produced 114,953,303 tonnes in 2024, up 39.6% from 82,366,531 tonnes in 2018. The expansion reflects new planted area in Mato Grosso and a second safrinha crop that now accounts for most of Brazil’s annual output. Argentina followed a different trajectory: production dropped from 43,462,323 tonnes in 2018 to 41,409,448 tonnes in 2023 during a severe drought, then recovered to 57,494,500 tonnes in 2024. Mexico and Canada rounded out the Americas producers with 24,326,508 tonnes and 15,344,938 tonnes respectively, showing stable year-on-year patterns.
War and Structural Change Reshape Europe’s Maize Output
Ukraine illustrates the conflict dimension: its maize harvest fell from 42,109,850 tonnes in 2021 to 26,863,740 tonnes in 2024, a drop of about 36% linked to disrupted planting and logistics. Romania recorded a longer-term decline from 18,663,940 tonnes in 2018 to 5,971,850 tonnes in 2024, affected by drought and shifting land use. France and Russia took divergent paths: French output rose from 12,580,430 tonnes in 2018 to 14,670,620 tonnes in 2024, while Russia went from 11,419,020 tonnes to 13,954,000 tonnes. Poland’s 9,223,230 tonnes completed a seven-year doubling driven by expanding feed demand.
Asia and Africa Show Contrasting Production Trends
India produced 40,230,573 tonnes across Asia, while Indonesia reached 15,138,912 tonnes. In sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa led with 12,850,000 tonnes in 2024, benefiting from well-established commercial farming. Ethiopia produced 11,701,131 tonnes, Nigeria reported 11,164,000 tonnes, and Tanzania reached 10,084,000 tonnes, up 61% from 2018. Africa’s smaller base continues to expand through land development and improved seed varieties, while Asia’s large total grew at a steadier pace.
2026 Outlook: Steady Leadership with Regional Variation
The 2026 estimates project the United States near 378,988,780 tonnes and China near 298,345,000 tonnes, reflecting moderate growth in both. Brazil’s estimate of 125,594,421 tonnes keeps the expansion trend within the recent volatility range. Poland’s projected 9,476,116 tonnes and Argentina’s estimate of 59,525,542 tonnes highlight the recovery path in those markets. The medium-tier producers show the most forecast dispersion, as several series contain sharp recent moves that the model caps. These projections assume average growing conditions and do not account for extreme weather events or policy changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which country produces the most maize (corn) in the world?
A: Poland's maize output rose from 3,792,140 tonnes in 2018 to 9,223,230 tonnes in 2024, more than doubling over seven years. The 2026 estimate of 9,476,116 tonnes suggests continued expansion, though at a slower pace. Polish maize benefits from rising feed demand and improving growing conditions in a warming climate, though the year-to-year series shows moderate volatility tied to summer rainfall patterns.
Q: How has Poland's maize production changed since 2018?
They're completely different! Field corn (dent corn) is what farmers grow in vast fields—it's starchy, not sweet, and inedible fresh. It's harvested mature and dry, then processed into animal feed, corn syrup, cornmeal, ethanol, and industrial products. Field corn represents 99% of US corn production. Sweet corn is a genetic mutation with higher sugar content, harvested immature (milky stage) for fresh eating—that's what you grill or boil. It's planted, grown, and harvested completely differently. You can't eat field corn off the cob—it's hard and tasteless. Conversely, sweet corn left to mature doesn't become field corn—it just gets tough and starchy. They're bred for different purposes: field corn for starch and processing, sweet corn for fresh consumption. So those endless cornfields you see? Not for eating fresh—they're feeding animals and cars!
