10 Countries That Export the Most Corn in the World

5. France

Exports value: $2 billion

Market share: 6.90%

European agricultural powerhouse holds the 5^th place among countries that export the most corn in the world, despite the fierce competition coming from Eastern Europe. Traditionally, French corn exports have been limited to the EU, its high price making it unable to compete globally with cheap corn coming from Ukraine and the United States, only occasionally managing to sell it outside Europe. According to the EU reports, corn planting for this year is almost complete, but there are fears of mild winter causing an increased number of pests which could affect the harvest. And with France being France, there’s also a talk of a labor dispute that could engulf the agricultural sector.
