Corn exports have been steadily increasing in recent years, making it the world’s largest agricultural crop, with an overall growth rate of 3.4 percent per year. Due to its great importance for serving as human and animal food and its variety of forms of commercialization, farmers seek to develop new forms of cultivation that adapt to the different types of regions and soils around the world and to the better management of pest and disease control contributing to the increase of world production. In Brazil, corn is the second largest grain produced, only behind soybeans, and is one of the largest Brazilian agricultural exports, occupying the fourth place in relation to dollar values.
