Syria's yellow corn production rose 42% this year to 475,232 tonnes on 84,381 hectares, according to the agriculture ministry. Farmers and officials say a lack of drying capacity is holding back the crop from moving into the feed chain, and the ministry plans to expand next season's area to 97,000 hectares.
Local output covers about half of Syria's domestic feed needs, so post-harvest bottlenecks could leave grain discounted or spoiled and keep import demand for feed corn elevated. The effect on global corn prices is small given the scale of the crop.
After 284 past neutral logistics events, Corn moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.4%), and -0.2% over 20.
