Wheat

The history of modern-day corn dates back to about 10,000 years ago; it originated in Central America and was grown in Southern Mexico. In 1492, it was discovered in Cuba by Christopher Columbus. It eventually spread to Europe and then to the rest of the world. Now, corn is a ubiquitous crop, from some of the driest arid regions to some of the wettest subtropics. Its versatility accounts for its popularity.

Beyond corn being savoured in a salad or enjoyed as popcorn, it has multiple uses. Its consumption by humans makes for a relatively insignificant share. In fact, most of it is used in ethanol fuel or as livestock feed.

It is essential for a diverse range of sectors. In the oil and gas industry, it forms a critical component in ethanol production, which is an ingredient in gasoline. A considerable amount of global corn production is used as livestock feed. Besides, it is significantly used as the raw material for corn-based plastics, an environmentally friendly and cheaper alternative. The high-fructose corn syrup has its usage in confectionery items as a sweetener.
