Syria’s corn production rose 42% in 2026 to 475,200 tonnes, although output fell short of the government’s target and covers only about half of domestic requirements. The country aims to raise yields through improved hybrids and farming practices, while limited grain-drying capacity remains a post-harvest challenge that can increase mold and mycotoxin risks.
The larger harvest adds domestic feed-grain supply and could temper import needs, but continued dependence on imports means Syria’s demand for corn remains substantial.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
