The 10 Countries That Grow the Most Corn

The things we can do with corn are endless. You can make biscuits, tortillas, and even medicinal products and animal feed. Billions of tons of corn are produced today in many countries. But it was in Mexico that the vegetable originated. Maize was cultivated by native tribes in Mexico over 9,000 years ago. After the Spanish invasion, they took corn back to Spain and eventually it spread all over the world. Now, Mexico isn’t the top producer of corn, other countries come out on top. Corn has to be planted in spring, however, it can be produced anywhere that isn’t too cold.
