# Maize Price High | Maize crosses ₹3,000 after ten years

> Maize prices at the Lasalgaon agricultural market in Maharashtra reached ₹3,000 per quintal, a ten-year high. The article attributes reduced output and market supply to below-normal rainfall associated with El Niño across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, while strong demand from poultry and ethanol producers has added to the supply-demand gap. The reported average price was ₹2,921 per quintal, compared with ₹1,851 a year earlier.
