Farmers in Menoufia governorate, Egypt, are growing more yellow corn, which is used for silage and concentrated feed. The agriculture deputy said the governorate has about 20,000 feddans under the crop and that silage now sells for 12,000 EGP per tonne.
Farmers say large farms buy the crop at harvest at attractive prices.
Growing domestic corn for silage and grain can reduce Egyptian feed mills' reliance on imported corn, which may ease demand for imports, though strong local silage prices show that feed costs remain high.
