Wheat holds the top position among cultivated crops globally in terms of cultivation and production, thanks to its broad adaptability. As a staple food for nearly 50 countries, wheat supplies around 20% of the total calories consumed from plant-based foods worldwide, a figure that rises to 53% in Turkey.

A key raw material in global food production, wheat thrives in continental climates, favouring hot, dry conditions and low humidity. It is widely used to produce various foods, including flour, bread, pasta, and biscuits, as well as for animal feed. Leading wheat-producing nations include China, India, the USA, Russia, Australia, Canada, Ukraine, Turkey, and Kazakhstan. While China and India primarily consume their wheat domestically, Turkey and Kazakhstan process their wheat into flour. Turkey, a global leader in flour exports, also ranks first in pasta exports. Meanwhile, the USA, Russia, Australia, Canada, and Ukraine are key players in direct wheat exports.

Global wheat production stands at approximately 800 million tons annually, with Turkey contributing around 20 million tons. Turkey ranks 9th in global wheat production, following China, India, Russia, the USA, Australia, Canada, Ukraine, and Pakistan.

Despite being a major wheat producer, Turkey also imports wheat, primarily to process it into flour and pasta for export. This practice supports its leading role in the global flour and pasta markets.

Corn, a grain from the cereal family, is primarily cultivated as animal feed. It is also a key ingredient in the production of various products such as corn flour, corn flakes, and corn syrup. Corn thrives in regions with high humidity and flourishes during hot and sunny periods of the year. Originally believed to have its roots in the Americas, corn was introduced to Turkey in the 1600s from Egypt, earning the name "Egyptian Wheat." Over time, it became known simply as corn. In Turkey, it is predominantly grown in the Eastern Black Sea region and can reach heights of up to 4 meters.

Global corn production stands at approximately 1.1 billion tons annually, with the United States and China accounting for over half of the total. Brazil follows with around 80 million tons, while EU countries collectively produce 65 million tons. Other major producers include Ukraine (30 million tons), Argentina (25 million tons), India (24 million tons), Mexico (22 million tons), South Africa and Canada (14 million tons each), and Russia (11 million tons). Turkey ranks 24th globally in corn production. The United States is the largest exporter of corn and also leads in consumption, utilising 302 million tons annually.

In Turkey, around 6 million tons of corn is produced each year, while an additional 2.5 million tons is imported to meet demand. The provinces of Konya (19%), Adana (15%), Mardin (8%), Osmaniye (6%), Karaman (5%), Sakarya (5%), Manisa (5%), �?anl�±urfa (4%), Diyarbak�±r (4%), and Kahramanmara�? (4%) contribute 75% of the nationâ??s total corn production.
