# India increases corn imports amid record domestic prices

> Indian importers have stepped up corn purchases abroad, with buyers contracting 104 thousand tons from Myanmar for November–December 2026 shipment, nearly 1.8 times India's total corn imports of the previous fiscal year. Domestic prices hit records in parts of India in late October, including Rs 3,255 per 100 kg at Warangal, after CLFMA estimated the 2026 kharif corn crop could fall 16.8% to 23.2 million tons due to drought in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
