About: Countries by Corn (Maize) Production 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total corn and maize production in 2025, measured in million metric tonnes according to USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and FAO crop production data. The United States is by a significant margin the world's largest maize producer — cultivating the crop across the Corn Belt states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska in a highly mechanised monoculture system that achieves some of the highest yields per hectare of any large-scale grain production system on Earth. American maize production serves three primary purposes simultaneously: animal feed for the enormous domestic livestock and poultry industry, ethanol production under the Renewable Fuel Standard that consumes roughly 40% of the harvest, and export markets that supply food manufacturers, livestock producers, and ethanol refiners across Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
