Maize Market Update: Prices Decline Temporarily Due to FCI Rice Sales

•The Indian maize market has experienced a temporary decline in prices due to the government's decision to sell Food Corporation of India (FCI) rice at ₹2,250 per quintal in the open market. This move has led to a ₹140-150 per quintal decrease in maize prices. 

•However, market participants consider this downturn to be short-lived, with prices expected to recover by the end of February 2025. The delayed maize harvest in Bihar, scheduled to commence in a few months, is contributing to short-term market volatility. 

•Initially, robust ethanol demand had driven maize prices higher, but lower-than-expected consumption between December and mid-January prompted the government to release subsidized rice, further pressuring maize prices. 

•Current market prices for maize are as follows -Haryana and Punjab: ₹2,550-2,600 per quintal -Madhya Pradesh: ₹2,250-2,300 per quintal 

•Starch mills and poultry buyers have reduced their purchases due to high prices, delaying the anticipated January price surge. Nevertheless, a ₹150-175 per quintal increase remains possible in the coming weeks .#corn #FCI #harvest #bihar #demand #ethanol #haryana #punjab #MadhyaPradesh #import #export #marketanalysis #marketinsights #socialmarketing #linkedin #agriculture #india  *Market Intelligence Report: Unlock Actionable Insights*
