Corn (Yellow Maize)

What makes U.S. Yellow Maize attractive for India

U.S. Yellow Maize typically offers uniform kernel size, high starch content (around 65–70%), and predictable nutritional value for animal feed. For Indian buyers, importing corn from the USA can provide an additional origin option when local supply is tight or when quality and consistency are critical. Corn is a core energy ingredient in poultry, dairy, beef, and aqua feed formulas, and a key raw material for starch and ethanol industries.

Corn specifications and quality parameters

Centura Agro's U.S. Yellow Maize is procured against defined quality parameters to support feed and industrial users in India. Typical specifications include:

Minimum order quantity is a 20 ft container, approximately 18–20 MT net, suitable for feed mills, integrators, and industrial buyers.

Use in animal feed and industrial applications

In poultry feed, corn is often the primary energy source, supporting growth and feed conversion when combined with protein meals and premixes. Dairy and beef rations use corn to provide fermentable energy in combination with forages and protein sources. Industrial users in India employ U.S. Yellow Maize for starch extraction, fermentation, and ethanol production where consistent quality is important.

Handling, storage, and logistics USA → India

Corn shipments are loaded in bulk or bagged form into 20 ft containers, with focus on moisture control and clean handling to support safe transit to Indian ports.
