  • Which countries produce maize?
  • France, Poland and Romania are the main producing countries and account for just over half of European production. Europe is the world’s largest producer of maize seed. Its annual production is estimated at around 30 million doses for a propagation area that reached 186,000 ha in 2021, up 9% from the previous season.‌
  • What is the French maize Association?
  • This inter-professional organisation is a hub for all discussions around the development of French maize seed production. It is unique in the world and it allows France to strengthen its leading position in Europe and remain the world’s first exporter of maize grains.‌
  • Where does maize grow in Europe?
  • Outside the European Union, there has also been a significant increase in the area devoted to maize seed production, particularly in Ukraine and Russia. More than 2,000 different varieties are developed in Europe. With this resource, the EU exported around 6 million doses to third countries in 2021, up 7% from the previous season.‌
  • How much maize is produced a year?
  • Its annual production is estimated at around 30 million doses for a propagation area that reached 186,000 ha in 2021, up 9% from the previous season. Maize production areas in the main producing countries — France (85,000 ha), Romania (35,000 ha) and Hungary (31,000 ha) — are increasing every year.‌
  • Why is France the world’s first exporter of maize grains?
  • It is unique in the world and it allows France to strengthen its leading position in Europe and remain the world’s first exporter of maize grains. The farmers’ and producers’ active participation inside the representative organisations ensures the network’s excellent homogeneity.‌
  • How many seed companies are there in France?
  • The industry’s 29 (breeding and subcontractor) seed companies are federated under the maize & sorghum section of the UFS (Union Française des Semenciers – the French Seed Producers’ Union). Steady and consistent yields, through irrigation, diversity of the production regions, and operator know-how both on farms and in the processing plants.
