In 2023, the United States led global maize production with 11.18 metric tons per hectare. Following closely, Chile produced 10.04 metric tons per hectare, and Australia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia produced 5.61, 4.88, and 4.84 metric tons per hectare, respectively. Forecasted data for 2024 suggests continuing trends in production efficiency.
By 2030, production per hectare is expected to increase across all observed countries: the United States by 0.58%, Chile by 1.42%, Australia by 0.76%, Vietnam by 0.77%, and Ethiopia by 1.21% year-on-year. Average annual growth (CAGR) over the past five years also highlights these upward trends in maize production efficiency.
Future trends to watch include advancements in agricultural technology and practices, climate change impacts, and shifts in global demand. Innovations in seed technology and improved farming techniques are likely to further enhance yield efficiency, especially in leading maize-producing countries.
