Maize exports rebound, up by 20 pc in April-Oct.

India’s maize exports, which dropped to a five-year low in 2024-25 on a lack of price parity, are rebounding this year on higher domestic output and prices turning favourable for buyers abroad. Exports during April-October this fiscal were up 20 per cent in volume at over 2.84 lakh tonnes, compared with 2.36 lakh tonnes a year ago. In value terms, maize shipments registered a 28 per cent growth during April-October at $112.49 million over $87.63 million a year ago.  Rahul Chauhan of IGrain India said that the maize shipments are taking place as prices are viable this year. However, the trade is cautious due to the prevailing situation in Bangladesh, one of the major markets. Last year, maize exports slowed down considerably due to the higher domestic prices, as per a report.
