Corn
ID GRAIN, a key player in the corn industry thanks to its multiple varieties
Corn is used in many areas.
In human consumption, corn is processed into various food products, including corn flour, grits and snacks.
In animal feed, its long stem is used as fodder and its cobs are a staple feed for livestock.
In the
industrial sector, it is used in the production of biofuels, starches and other industrial products.
Performance and Competitiveness for ID Grain varieties
Popcorn Maize
Popcorn Maizeis used for direct consumption in the form of popped kernels.
This type of corn has a harder shell and a particular internal structure that allows it to pop when heated.
Colored Corn
Colored corn (red, black and other shades) is often used for its decorative properties, but also for its enhanced nutritional qualities such as higher antioxidant content compared to traditional corn varieties.
Round grain Corn
It is primarily grown for its ability to produce round and regular grains, making it a valued type for human and animal consumption as well as for certain industrial applications.
Zea mays L. var. everta
Popcorn corn is distinguished by its small size and its ability to burst when exposed to heat, thanks to its thick hull and specific moisture content.
Its cultivation is adapted to warm and temperate climates, with good drought resistance. Agronomically, it requires careful irrigation management and meticulous harvesting to preserve its popping properties.
It comes in two types of varieties:
- Butterfly: characterized by its ability to pop into irregular, butterfly-shaped flakes.
- Mushroom: characterized by round forms, mushroom-shaped flakes after popping, making it easier to coat.
Zea mays L. var. diverse
The different types of colored corn are mainly found in human consumption in the form of flour, grits, or processed products.
They are also used in some animal feed sectors, particularly in bird feeding and as nutrient-rich components or poultry feed (white corn).
Red corn
Zea mays L. var. rubra
Black corn
Zea mays L. var. niger
white corn
Zea mays L. var. alba
Zea mays L. var. compacta
This type of corn is known for its high starch content, making it ideal for the production of flours and grits, in addition to its uses in the pet food industry.
Small round grain Corn is used in bird feeding due to its high energy content and small size.

Learn more about Corn
Corn is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world. Known for its great adaptability, corn is grown in various climates, from temperate regions to tropical zones. It requires a warm growing season, with ideal temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 °C, and sufficient water availability for optimal development.
Corn also plays a key role in crop rotation, contributing to soil health through its deep root system and
ongoing research on varietal improvement.
