The Introduction of Maize Processing in India

Maize is one of the top three important crops in India, ranking after rice and wheat. It is widely applied in food process, diet cooking, feed products and industrial fuel raw material. The development of maize processing has a direct contribution to the economy in India.

Maize processing industry in India is largely influenced by the price of maize, the consumption and its supply. With the increasing use for alcohol production, the consumption of maize will go over its supply. The agricultural department in India predicts that the price of maize may continue to rise in the short terms. The increasing needs of maize industrial use largely encourages the development of maize processing industry in India, and meanwhile the price of downstream products such as feeding products, and maize flour product. It is profitable to invest a maize process factory in the long terms. The capital investment increase keeps a continuous increase in the past three years. Meanwhile, the increase of maize price brings out a negligible raise cost of maize mill owner. A small scale maize flour mill factory owner said that rising maize flour price driven by the raw material cost brings out a large profit and a series of potential problem. For the maize processing factory owners, keeping an eye on the maize price in India and global market and government export-import policy is an important measure to deal with the potential risk.

Maize processing in India is correlated with the price of raw material, the global market situation. The continuous rise of maize will lead to a great change in a series of maize processing industry such as maize flour mill factory, feed product, industrial fuel and poultry feed.
