2 5 April 9-10, 2015 New Delhi Maize or corn is a cereal crop that is grown widely throughout the world in a range of agroecological environments. More maize is produced annually than any other grain. Even in Asia, the rapid increase in maize acreage in the last decade is an indication that it is winning the battle as compared with rice, the staple food. The Asian region will see itself as a major global player in the near term. In India too, it has been consistently growing in recent years. As Asia s agribusiness and food processing industries and economies continue to grow, the opportunities for the use of maize as food, feed, fodder and in industry will also increase significantly. The growing needs of the poultry sector, the expansion of maize seed sector and increasing interest by consumers in nutritionally enriched and specialty maize products indicates the growing potential. In such scenario, it is important to build a competitive supply chain of maize with a broader aim of economic improvement in the maize value chain.
