10 Countries That Export the Most Corn in the World

4. Ukraine

Exports value: $3 billion

Market share: 10.60%

With Ukraine on number four spot, we enter the major league of corn exporters. Despite being in a shooting war with Russia, Ukraine managed to carve up more than 10% of the global corn market, with 27.7 million metric tons of corn exported. The country will remain a major player in 2016 as well, with corn planted on 4.37 million hectares (9.3 million acres). As Ukraine’s economy continues to tank and plenty of Russian tanks on its borders (and some of them inside of them), the agriculture remains one of few bright spots in country’s bleak situation.
