Indian corn prices rose by about one-third over the past month as adverse monsoon weather reduced the kharif crop and drought threatened rabi production. The article estimates 2026 corn production at 23.5 million tonnes, down from 25 million tonnes a year earlier, while expanding ethanol production is adding to domestic demand.
Weather-related production losses are tightening available corn supplies as ethanol producers compete with feed users for grain. That combination supports Indian corn prices and raises feed costs for poultry and livestock producers.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
