1. Corn

Annual Per Capita Production in 2022: 128.2 kg

Corn originally comes from North America, and people have been growing it for a long time. It is a unique crop since it can be used as food for both humans and animals. Corn is even turned into ethanol, which is better for the environment than regular fuels. In 2021, global total trade of corn was $52.3 billion. The USDA is projecting corn production of 15.27 billion bushels for the 2023/2024 marketing year, up from 13.73 billion bushels in 2022/2023. The increase is driven by a projected increase in planted acreage to 92 million acres and a trend yield of 181.5 bushels per acre.
