    India’s corn exports have climbed to their highest level in three years, supported by lower freight costs, competitive pricing, and improved demand from international markets.

    Reduced shipping expenses have strengthened India’s position in the global corn trade by making exports more cost-effective for overseas buyers. Exporters have benefited from improved logistics conditions, allowing Indian corn to compete more effectively with supplies from other major producing countries.

    The rise in shipments comes as global buyers continue to diversify sourcing options amid changing market conditions. India’s strong domestic production and availability of exportable surplus have also contributed to the growth in overseas sales.

    Industry participants said lower transportation costs have played a key role in boosting export activity, particularly to markets in Asia and other regions where price competitiveness remains a major factor.

    With demand for feed grains continuing to grow, exporters expect India’s corn shipments to maintain positive momentum, although future performance will depend on global prices, crop output, and international trade trends.
